Principles of Design
What does every pattern do?
Repeat
a pattern that comes from nature, like scales or zebra stripes, is called
organic
when an image is symmetrical, it means it is
equal on both sides, mirror-image , the same
proximity means
grouping like things together
the path your eye takes when looking at the composition is called
movement
When an element of art (like value) has high contrast it means the values are...
the values are very different.
a regular pattern shows an element of art that
just repeats
when a image looks the same when turned upside down it is
radial
white space, (or negative space) should be spaced equally from the edge of the page and between proximity groups. This helps the layout not feel so
cramped
the repetition of a line that creates movement is
rhythm
When the art has many types of examples from a single element of art, we call it
Variety
a complex pattern has an element of art that repeats but also does what?
changes in someway like size
when an image is not the same on both sides because of size, values or other visual weight differences, but each side still adds up to equal, we call it
asymmetrical
when all items are lined up to the left, right or center, we call it
alignment
to catch the eye as it travels, artists will emphasize a part of the picture by giving it high...
contrast
to check for compositional balance, you must compare
the right and left side of the picture
when repeating the same line direction in a composition, it can create a feeling of movement called
Rhythm
when a composition does not have equal visual weight on both sides of the picture.
unbalanced
contrast helps us know where to look first because you always make which part bigger or stand out?
the most important info
Usually the emphasis is placed (where) on the rule of thirds grid?
the intersection or the eye
when one part of the composition stands out
emphasis
give an example of each pattern: regular, complex, organic
check with teacher
identify the correct type of balance in all four pictures
check in with teacher
layout consistency is when an element of art, like color, is repeated, or carried through the same way so as not to throw off the viewer.
