, Principles of Design
BALANCE: is the way in which the art elements are arranged. 3
types.
• Symmetrical: Mirror image. The same on either side.
• Asymmetrical: Opposite. Not the same.
• Radial: Distributes the elements from a central point
(Mandala).
TECHNIQUE/MEDIUM: Is the material an artist uses to create an
artwork. Like pencil, paint, oil paint, print.
CONTRAST: Is made by arranging opposing elements next to each
other.
EMPHASIS: When an artist uses contrast to make a part of the
work stand out. This is sometimes called the focal point. (Don’t
draw something in the middle of a page: Slight right or slight left).
The blue dot is bigger, and it is the
opposite colour of orange.
