Principles on (symmetry, balance, unity) (harmony, pattern, rhythm) (size, scale, dimension, proportion) By: Irene, Melissa, Shervon

Symmetry, Balance, Unity

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Symmetry

Is where you can fold an image at its axis of symmetry and have both halves match exactly. (Mirror Image)

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Properties of a Reflective Symmetry

An object that is symmetrical must have 1. At least 1 line of symmetry 2. The same perpendicular length between points from the Axis of symmetry

Symmetrical Asymmetrical
slide-5
SLIDE 5

Symmetry in Shapes

Shapes can have more than 1 line of symmetry.

2 lines of Symmetry 5 lines of Symmetry ∞ lines of Symmetry
slide-6
SLIDE 6

Properties of a Rotational Symmetry

It is when at any point of time the object appears exactly like it did before the rotation.

90° 180° 120°

The number of turns it can make is called the ORDER of Symmetry

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Point Symmetry

The central point that splits the object or shape into 2 parts.

S X

  • Every component is the

same on each side and has the same distance from the central point.

  • Both components face

different directions

Point Symmetry VS. Reflective Symmetry

The main difference is in the connection. Reflective Symmetry Point Symmetry

Balance in art refers to the sense of

distribution of perceived visual weights that offset one another.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Balance... or not to balance in Art?

1. Balanced

  • We feel more comfortable
  • Therefore it feels more pleasing to the eye
  • Usually Symmetrical
  • 2. Imbalanced
  • Some artist deliberately wants to disturb our sense of balance
  • Often we feel uneasy
  • Usually Asymmetrical
slide-16
SLIDE 16

2 Types of Balance

1. Symmetrical Balance

  • Both sides have the same components
  • Identical on both sides
  • 2. Asymmetrical Balance
  • Both sides are different yet

components are arranged to seem balanced

2 Types of Balance

1. Symmetrical Balance

  • 2. Asymmetrical Balance

Symmetrical Balance

Usually Associated with formality, order, rationality and permanence.

Asymmetrical Balance

Usually Associated with variety, visual interest and liveness. It allows more freedom and creativity

  • Complex vs. Simple
  • Shadows vs. Highlights
  • Heavy Texture vs. Smoother surface
  • Intense Colors vs. Dull Colors

Asymmetrical Balance Examples

Asymmetrical Balance Examples

Michelangelo, David

Contrapposto

  • Tensed(Red) vs. Relaxed(Blue)
slide-23
SLIDE 23

Asymmetrical Balance Examples

Isamu Noguchi, Red Cube, 1968
  • Bright Colors vs. Dull Colours
  • An object seemingly without balance
  • vs. Buildings that convey permanence
slide-24
SLIDE 24
  • ccurs when all of the elements of a piece combine

to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole

Unity

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Unity and Variety

Unity in an artwork creates a sense of harmony and wholeness, by using similar elements within the composition and placing them in a way that brings them all together. Variety adds interest by using contrasting elements within the composition.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Unity

Can be achieved through... Similar Shapes Common Pattern Use of Space Common Background 1. Similarity

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Unity

Can be achieved through... 2. Colour Symbolism Colors that work together with the message

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Unity

Can be achieved through... 3. Shapes and Lines Organic vs. Geometric 4. Size One element is not overwhelming another to the point it’s lost

slide-29

Unity

Unity

5. Fonts 6. Repetition Repetition of color, shape, texture or object can be used to tie a work together. Can be achieved through...

Unity

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Unity

7. Continuation Can be achieved through... Using a subtle method of unifying a work involves the continuation of line, edge or direction from one area to another.

  • Eg. Tying a page to another in at the bottom of

the page

Unity

Other Examples

  • Similar Shapes
Lee Gainer, Seascape
  • Neutral

Background

Harmony, Pattern, Rhythm

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Harmony

Harmony in visual design means all parts of the visual image relate to and complement each other.

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Harmony

Pulls the pieces of a visual image together to create a pleasing arrangement of the elements or parts of the whole

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Harmony

1. Balance 2. Texture 3. Space 4. Variety of forms 5. Color 6. Movement / Rhythm Can be achieved through...

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Harmony

1. Balance Involves arranging both positive and elements and negative space to create a seamless whole composition Can be achieved through...

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Harmony

2. Texture Can be achieved through...

St Marks Cathedral Mosaic, Venice
slide-39
SLIDE 39

Harmony

Can be achieved through... 3. Space Space can be used to both separate and connect elements in design

slide-40
SLIDE 40

Harmony

Can be achieved through... 4. Variety of forms Form emphasizes visual units, connecting parts and creating an area of attention.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Harmony

Can be achieved through... 5. Colour

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Harmony

Can be achieved through... 6. Movement / Rhythm The flow depicted in a visual which helps direct eye movement

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Pattern

Pattern is an arrangement of design elements such as lines, shapes and

  • bjects, repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement.
slide-44
SLIDE 44

Symbolic Uses of Pattern

1. People 2. Beliefs 3. Natural World 4. History 5. Tradition

Rhythm

Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them.

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Rhythm

Pattern Rhythm - same elements are used but with variations

slide-51
SLIDE 51

3 Types of Rhythm

1. Regular Rhythm A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves are similar in size or length

slide-52
SLIDE 52

3 Types of Rhythm

  • 2. Progressive Rhythm

A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps

slide-53
SLIDE 53

3 Types of Rhythm

  • 3. Flowing Rhythm

A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more

  • rganic in nature
slide-54
SLIDE 54

Rhythm

  • Repeating a series of elements that progressively increase or

decrease in size and spacing

  • Alternating dark and heavy with light and thin elements
  • Repeating similar shapes or elements throughout the layout

Can be achieved through...

Size Scale Dimension Proportion

slide-60
SLIDE 60

Size

The physical dimension of an object

slide-61
SLIDE 61
slide-62
SLIDE 62

Scale

the relative size of different objects or of an object to a common standard

slide-63
SLIDE 63
slide-64
SLIDE 64 Common standard
slide-65
SLIDE 65 Scale can be used to create the illusion of depth and perspective as larger elements tend to advance while smaller elements tend to recede into the background.
slide-66
SLIDE 66 Scale can imply meaning as in the image below
slide-67
SLIDE 67 With a lack of scale, elements can end up competing for attention
slide-68
SLIDE 68
slide-69

Scale can create visual hierarchy

Scaling Fallacy

Scale on surface design

slide-72
SLIDE 72

Dimension

a measurable extent of a particular kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height.

Proportion

relationship between elements that are part of a whole, with respect to a comparative magnitude

slide-77
SLIDE 77 When one element of your design changes size, the others should also change size similarly if you want to keep them in the same proportion.
slide-78
SLIDE 78 When one element of your design changes size, the others should also change size similarly if you want to keep them in the same proportion.
