Principles of Design Contrast Balance Movement Gradation Rhythm Proportion Variety Harmony Emphasis
Shape vs. Form Shape: 2-dimensional, flat, enclosed area Two types: GEOMETIC & ORGANIC Form: 3-dimensional, has volume Examples: CONE, CUBE, CYLINDER, SPHERE Value is used to help make it look more realistic
Value Light and dark relationships Gradual change from one value to the next VALUE SCALE tool used to help show a good range of values principle of design used: GRADATION
Balance Three types: RADIAL: comes from the center SYMMETRICAL: same on both sides ASSYMETRICAL: not alike on both sides
Texture How something feels How it looks like it feels REAL or IMPLIED Implied texture: used in art class when drawing!
Space Background, middleground, foreground Positive -VS- Negative Positive Space area where the object occupies Negative Space area that surrounds the object

Sighting Method used to help artists to capture the correct proportions of what they are drawing Drawing from Observation draw exactly what you see in front of you (right brain) Drawing from Memory draw from what you remember (left brain)
