Principles of Design

Balance- is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art

Contrast- is created by using elements that conflict with one another

Emphasis- in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance

Movement- means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.

Pattern- made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.

Rhythm- repetition of shapes, lines, and forms

Unity- means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony
