CAN YOU NAME THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF ART?

The Principles of Design
Rhythm
Movement
Pattern
Balance
Proportion
Emphasis
Variety
Harmony
Unity
Note: This list is one possible list. You will find that every book, every artist has a slightly different list of Principles.

Balance:
Balance is concerned with arranging art elements in an artwork so no one part over powers, or seems heavier than, any other part.
There are three types of balance:
Formal
Informal
Radial

Formal Balance (Symmetrical): Occurs when one half of a work mirrors or closely resembles the other half.

Informal Balance (Asymmetrical): Involves a balance of unlike objects or elements.

Radial Balance: Occurs when elements are positioned around a central point.

Variety:
Combining art elements by adding slight changes to increase visual interest.

Rhythm: The repetition of an element to make a work seem active or to suggest visual vibration.

Movement:
Movement is the Principle of Design that creates the look and feel of action to guide the viewer’s eyes through the work of art.

A two-dimensional decorative effect achieved through the repetition of colors, lines, shapes, and/or textures. Pattern:

Proportion:
The manner in which the parts of a work relate to each other and to the whole.

Emphasis: The principle of design concerned with making an element or object in an artwork stand out.

Harmony: The principle of design concerned with combining similar art elements to create a pleasing appearance.

Unity: The combining of art elements and principles with media to create a feeling of completeness.
