of art in a work of art.

create a feeling of stability in a work.

mirrors the other.
Leonardo DaVinci

not reflect the design of the other.
James Whistler

image, or when one
area or thing stand out
the most.

and
MOVEMENT
A regular repetition of

movement.
Delauney Robert
Vincent VanGogh
Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through
the work of art, often to focal areas.
PATTERN and Repetition
working with patterns to make the
work of art seem active. The
repetition of elements of design
creates unity within the work of art.
Gustav KLIMT
Andy WARHOL
UNITY
When all the
elements and
principles
work
together to
create a
pleasing
image.
Johannes Vermeer
VARIETY
The use of
differences and
change to increase
the visual interest
of the work.
Marc Chagall

relationship of
one part to
another with
