The document discusses the principles of design in art, which are techniques artists use with the elements of art to create compositions. It outlines 11 principles: balance, contrast, emphasis, variety, unity/harmony, proportion, rhythm, movement, pattern, and repetition. Each principle is defined and an example artwork is described to illustrate how that principle is applied.
There are a lot of rules and best practices to consider when designing anything (regardless of the medium– website, print campaign, keynote presentation, etc.), and the process can easily become overwhelming to the uninitiated. Fortunately, various sets of principles exist to help lay out the general premise of a design. There are nine principles, and the process becomes vastly simpler after learning the concepts behind this set. Most of the time, after some practice and comprehension, the principles begin to work subconsciously within the back of your mind, guiding the creative process.
Principles of ART
The principles of Art describe the ways that artists use the elements of art in a work of art.
Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar.
Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.
Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential.
Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art.
Harmony in art is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related elements. For instance: adjacent colors on the color wheel, similar shapes etc.
Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.
Repetition is working with patterns to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art.
Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.
This power point is about the elements of arts with some samples and an assessment.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
2. What are The Principles of
Design?
The Principles of Design are
the ways that artists use the
Elements of Art to create good
Compositions (artwork)
3. There are 11 Principles of
Design
Balance Contrast
Emphasis Variety
Unity/Harmony Proportion
Rhythm Movement
Pattern Repetition
4. Balance:
This principle of design refers to
the visual equalization of the
elements in a work of art.
There are three major forms of
balance
5. The three major forms of
balance:
Asymmetrical balance: where equilibrium
is achieved by the balance differences in the
art elements within a composition.
Symmetrical balance: where the art
elements in a composition are balanced in a
mirror-like fashion (it does not have to be
exact but close).
Radial balance: a kind of balance where
the elements branch or radiate out from a
central point.
6. What kind of balance is illustrated in this
painting Oriental Poppies, by Georgia O’Keefe?
7. If you said symmetrical balance , you are correct!
If you could visually divide the paper in half. There would be a
poppy on both sides. No one side dominates the pictures.
Neither poppy appears to be more important than the other.
8. Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's
Mother (commonly known as Whistler’s Mother), by
James Whistler
What type of balance is shown in this painting ?
9. If you said, asymmetrical balance , you were right!
The large form of the woman is "visually equal" to the
black curtain and white painting on the wall. This makes
the painting appear balanced.
10. What type of balance is shown in this stained
glass artwork, Rose Window?
11. Radial Balance ! Look at the spiral or spinning effect
of the pattern. The axis is the center point and the
design or pattern appears to "radiate" from that point.
12. What type of balance is shown here?
George Seurat, (French) 1859-1891, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte
Here the larger figures to the right are balanced by the many
smaller figures to the left. Also, Seurat added additional
"light" to the left. How does this add balance to the painting?
13. What type of balance is shown here?
The monkey and the
the cat balance each
other out on either
side of the woman.
Freda Khalo, Autorretarto con
Collre de Espinas y Colibri,
14. Contrast
A design principle that emphasizes
differences between the art elements.
For example, a painting may have bright
colors that contrast with dull colors or
angular shapes that contrast with rounded
shapes.
Sharp contrast draws attention and can
direct a viewer to a focal point within a work
of art.
15. In Spiral of Emotion by Joseph Perkins we see
a sharp contrast between darks and lights
which he has balanced out with some middle
tones.
16. In this work we see sharp lines and shapes
against softer lines and shapes. We also see
sharp contrast between colors.
Marlene Healey, Sections of my Destiny
17. Emphasis
The principle of design that is concerned with
dominance; the development of a main idea or
center of interest (also called focal point)
18. Where is the focal point in Wassily
Kandinsky’s, Composition VII ?
19. Kandinsky emphasized the large black circle in
the upper left corner of his work. The object is
different from everything else in the painting
and therefore it "stands out".
20. In Francisco Goya’s, The Shootings of May
Third 1801, where is the area of emphasis ?
21. Goya "lights" up the painting in much the same way a spotlight
lights up the actors on a stage. Goya creates a very light value
around the area he wants you to see. The man in the white shirt is
the focal point of the painting. He uses value contrast to
emphasize this area.
22. Variety
Variety is achieved when the art elements are
combined in various ways to increase visual interest.
For instance, an assortment of shapes that are of a
variety of sizes attracts more attention than an
assortment of shapes all the same size.
23. Let’s look at Kandinsky’s painting again. How is
the artist showing variety in this work?
24. Kandinsky used a variety of lines, shapes and colors
to give this painting interest. He also overlapped some
of those elements.
25. Unity/Harmony
This principle refers to the visual quality of
wholeness or oneness that is achieved through
effective use of the elements of art and
principles of design
26. What do you think Cezanne used to keep this painting,
Mt. Victoria,
unified or working together?
27. Cezanne used blues, yellows and greens. By
using related colors (remember blue and yellow
make green), the piece appears to work as a
whole.
28. Proportion
The relationship in size of one
component (part) of a work of art to
another
29. How is this artist, John Zacchea, showing
correct proportion in Wine Bottle and
Cheese?
When comparing
the size of the
objects in the
composition, you
see that the
objects are not
too large or too
small for each
other. They are of
a realistic size.
30. Sometimes artists chose to distort or
exaggerate the proportions of the subjects
involved.
In this case the artist chose
to use these "puffed up
forms" to exaggerate the
size of the people. By
showing the figures larger
than life size, he is
attempting to celebrate the
life within, and perhaps to
mock their role in the
world.
Fernando Botero, A Family
31. Rhythm
Rhythm refers to a way of utilizing the art
elements to produce the look and feel of rhythmic
movement with a visual tempo or beat
32. Here is an example of a cut paper tessellation
design. What is used to create the appearance
of rhythm in this work?
33. Possible answers could be:
The fish design is repeated over and over.
The colors white and orange appear as a pattern.
The lines that form the scales of the fish.
The black triangles that decorate the backbone of the fish.
34. Movement
Movement is the design principle that uses some of
the elements of art to produce the look of action or
to cause the viewer’s eye to sweep over the art work
in a certain manner.
35. In Starry Night, famed artist Vincent Van Gogh creates
movement in his sky. How does he show us this?
36. The swirling motion of the colors in the sky showing the artist's
interpretation of wind.
The repetition of the brushstrokes and paint dabs.
The stars are all yellow and round, vary in size and placement,
and have "halos" of light encircling them.
Look at the painting and concentrate on how your eyes bounce
from one star to another. This is an example of how an artist can
create movement in a work of art.
37. Pattern
Repetition of an element of art (i.e.,
shapes, lines, or colors) to achieve
decoration or ornamentation.
38. What elements has the artist used in this mask
to create pattern ?
This decorative
wall plaque is a
great example of
how an artist
uses lines and
shapes to create
patterns.
Artist Unknown,Indonesian, Wall Plaque,
39. How has the artists use of
pattern enhanced this piece?
Would this piece be
as interesting if the
artist had used a
solid background
rather than this
patterned one?
Riffs by Florene
40. Repetition
A way of combining art elements
so that the same elements are
used over and over to achieve
balance and harmony.
41. Ben Shahn has shown repetition in his work,
Supermarke t
by repeating the same subject over and over to create
an interesting composition. He used the same type and
thickness of line and the same shapes
42. This beautiful Scorpion Mola, by an unknown
artist , from the Panama Canal Kuna Indians
shows repetition of what elements of art?
44. The Principles of Design in Review
The Principles of Design are the ways that artists use the
