The Building Blocks of 2D Art The Principles of Art: Unity Balance Emphasis Movement Rhythm Variety Proportion
The Principles of Art 1. Unity: the sense of oneness, wholeness, or order in a work of art. Combining similar colors, shapes, lines, textures, and patterns can help to create unity.
The Principles of Art 2. Balance: the equalization of elements in a work of art. 3 types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial
