Balance Georgia O’Keeffe Formal Balance usually is achieved by the artist placing objects in the work in a symmetrical or equal-sided arrangement. Informal Balance is created when an asymmetrical layout is used. Radial Balance occurs when the design radiates out from a central point.

BALANCEBALANCE The way the elements are arranged to create a feeling of stability in a work. Alexander Calder

Symmetrical Balance The parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other. Classical Architecture

Approximate Symmetrical Balance The parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other. Van Eyck
