The principles of Art and Design can simply be said to be the way the art elements are used in final composition. The principles of Art and Design are divided into various forms which are as follows:
(1) Movement
(1) Movement
(2) Balance
(3) Variety
(4) Emphasis
(5) Unity
(6) Rhythm
(7) Proportion
(8) Pattern
(9) Harmony
(10) Repetition
(11) Perspective etc.
They all define how the Artists design their work, either consciously or unconsciously, by controlling, ordering and combining the Elements of Art and Painting. These principles listed above are the basic knowledge and analytical framework every Artist and Beginners should know in order to excel and do great in Art.
Thus, In today's topic on principles of Art and Design, We will only be discussing but a few principles with which the rest of the other principles will be discussed on our next post on TOP MAJOR 6 PRINCIPLES OF ART AND DESIGN FOR ARTISTS AND BEGINNERS (CONT'D). So just stay tuned for the next post. So back to our discussion for today, We will start by discussing one of the basic first principle you must know which is:
(1) BALANCE: Balance can be seen as the psychological sense of equilibrium. It simply refers to the way the elements in a work are arranged to create a feeling of stability. As a design principle, balance places the parts of a visual in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
Balance can come in various forms which are:
(i) Symmetrical (Formal)
(ii) Asymmetrical (Informal)
(iii) Near Symmetrical
(iv) Radial
(v) Crystallographic
As you all may know, There are three main types of balance; Thus can be seen below:
(a) Horizontal Balance
(b) Vertical Balance
(c) Radial Balance
(2) MOVEMENT: Movement is simply the path the eyes of the artist follows in, around and through a composition's part to create a sense of motion or action through the use of different art element. Movement in a visual image comes from the kinds of forms, curves, shapes and lines that are used and can be said to occur when objects seem to be in a state of motion in a visual image.
Movement can be achieved in many ways which are as follows:
(i) Lines of Force: They are lines added to show the pathways of movement.
(ii) Fuzzy Outlines: They are the outlines of a figure or elements that are blurred in an attempt to capture a moment in time.
(iii) Repetition: They are figures that are repeated in such a manner to suggest sequential moments in time.
(iv) Multiple Images: This can be clearly seen or observed when one figure in an overlapping sequence of posses is slightly changed in each successive position.
(3) VARIETY: Variety are the contrasting elements within the composition that add interest. It provides contrast to harmony and unity. It also refers to the way elements are combined to achieve complex relationships. In a visual Image, Variety can be added by changing the point of view, size, and angle of a single object. Variety can be achieved by using opposites of strong contrasts.
By Using different variations of the same color, texture, line, shape; Artists who wish to increase the visual interest of their work, Often obtain variety through the use of change and diversity.
(4) PATTERN: Pattern can be said to be a combination of shapes or elements repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement. Pattern often occur in nature, and artists use similar repeated motifs to create pattern in their artwork. It increases visual excitement by enriching surface interest. Pattern uses the art elements in random or planning repetition to enhance surfaces, sculpture, or paintings.
(5) UNITY: Unity is one of the most important of all the Principles in Art and Design because in a work of Art, Unity showcase the sense or feeling of wholeness and harmony of the whole composition. It gives a sense of oneness to a visual image. In other words, It is the relationship between the elements of a visual that helps all the elements function together. Unity also refers to the arrangement or congruity that exists among the elements in a design. When speaking of unity or rather say, before you can say that unity has been achieved, the viewer must first of all notice the whole pattern before they concentrate on individual elements.
There are 3 main ways to achieve unity:
(i) Continuation
(ii) Proximity
(iii) Repetition.
