Chapter 8 : Principles of

art & design


The principles of art and design are
the foundation in creating an art.
They represent how the artist, the
elements of art to create a better
effect as well as tohelp the artist to
convey his intent.
Harmony
Harmony is the principle which produces
impression of unity through the selection and
arrangement of consistent objects or ideas .
FIVE ASPECTS OF HARMONY
 Harmony of lines and shape

 Harmony size
 Harmony of color

 Harmony of texture
 Harmony of idea
RHYTHM
Rhythm is a principle of design that suggests
movement or action. Rhythm is usually
achieved through repetition of lines, shapes,
colors, and more. It creates a visual tempo in
artworks and provides a path for the viewer’s
eye to follow. We find rhythm not only in
painting , and architecture but also in music ,
dance and poetry .
FORMAL RHYTHM

INFORMAL RHYTHM
BALANCE
Balance is a condition or quality which gives a
feeling of rest, repose, equilibrium, or stability.
Mathematically, objects are balanced when
they have equal physical weights and are
placed equally distant from a common center
or axis. In art, we do not exactly arrange
objects of equal physical weights or sizes to
produce balance. It is the visual weights of
lines, forms, values, textures and colors that
we really balance.
TWO TYPES OF BALANCE :
 Formal or Symmetrical Balance

 Informal or Asymmetrical
PROPORTION
Proportion is the art principle which shows
pleasing relationship between a whole and its
parts and between the parts themselves. It can
be achieved through proper arrangement of
space divisions Proportions are generally
expressed in terms of ratios.
(3) Aspects of proportion
Proportion in the grouping of
objects

Proportion in space divisions

 Proportion in scales
EMPHASIS
The principle of art which tends to carry the
eyes from the center of interest or dominant
part of any composition to the less important
or subordinate part.
Methods of Emphasizing Objects

 By arrangement or grouping of objects


 By decoration
 By color contrast
MOVEMENT
Movement is the result of using the elements
of art that they move the viewer's eye around
and within the image. A sense of movement
can be created by diagonal or curvy lines,
either real or implied, by edges, by the illusion
of space, by repetition, by energetic mark-
making.
UNITY / VARIETY
Unity/Variety You want your painting to feel
unified such that all the elements fit together
comfortably. Too much unity creates
monotony, too much variety creates chaos. You
need both. Ideally, you want areas of interest in
your composition along with places for your
eye to rest.
NOVELTY OF NEWNESS
A new dress style appears more attractive and
interesting than ordinary dress design. Novelty
provides the best opportunity for developing
one's creative ability .
UTILITY , ADAPTABILITY , OR FUNCTION

A work of art must not only possess beauty but


also utility. The object must be adaptable to
the purpose for which it is made. This is
especially true to all practical arts. In designing
modern structures, function is now the first
consideration.
CONTRAST
This art principle is synonymous to opposition
or contradiction . It has some relationships
with balance each other . The center of interest
in a composition is in contrast with the
subordinating parts in the same composition
