This document discusses several principles of composition in visual art, including: - Types of compositional balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance. - Rhythm, which is the continuous use of repetitive motifs, patterns, colors, lines or shapes that creates movement in the artwork. - Emphasis, which is drawing attention to specific parts of the artwork through techniques like isolation of areas using color, value or texture. - Unity and variety, where unity refers to pleasing relationships between elements, while variety introduces contrasts in forms, types, size and color.
