Sky and Water MC Escher (The core of visual thinking is) “how an image is composed of its parts” - Rudolf Arnheim
3
The Survivors Käthe Kollwitz The unifying idea for the portfolio is that the student focuses on making decisions about how to use the principles and elements of art to create works of art that convey meaning.
4
King Oliver Jazz Band The orchestration of the Elements of Art according to the Principles of Design is what is evaluated in the 2-D design portfolio.

17
Unity = Law of Similarity & Law of Proximity Law of Similarity The mind groups similar* elements into collective entities. *similar in color, form, or brightness. Who is the AntiSemite? Paanat Law of Proximity The mind sees elements that are close together as being related. Francisco Argumosa
18
Lee Friedlander Boy in Window, Baltimore Similar shapes close together become a group & unify the composition Unity
19
Similarity of textures promotes unity Jerusalem Anselm Kiefer
20
Unity Repeated color harmonies promote unity Fiesta George Tooker
21
Unity Repeated shapes promote unity Lantern Bearers Maxfield Parrish
22
Variety Contrasting color, pattern and texture create visual interest La Musique Henri Matisse Law of Similarity The mind groups similar* elements into collective entities. *similar in color, form, or brightness for example X Law of Common Fate Elements with the same moving direction are perceived as a collective or unit Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns. Law of Similarity - disrupted
23
Variety = Law of Similarity - Disrupted Cindy Sherman Untitled Film Still #21 Focal point created by contrast of shape
24
Spring Way Romare Bearden Focal point created by isolating a shape Variety = Law of Continuity disrupted
25
Focal point created by color contrast editorial design Richard Hart
26
Focal point created by “lines of force” - elements direct the eye toward focal point Sharkeys George Bellows Variety = Law of Common Fate & Law of Continuity Law of Common Fate Elements with the same moving direction are perceived as a collective or unit Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.

Rhythm = Law of Continuity The Mysteries of Harris Burdick Chris Van Allsburg Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.
29
Rhythm visual elements repeat in such a way as to evoke a “beat” Rayograph 1926 Man Ray “regular” rhythm
30
I want to understand Tabor Photo-graphic Balance Equal distribution of visual “weight” within a composition - symmetrical / asymmetrical
31
Compositional “hot spots” - a reaction to the experience of gravity upon the body, and the way text is read. Balance - Visual Weight
32
Symmetrical Balance virtually identical elements in each half of the composition Identical twins Diane Arbus
33
Asymmetrical Balance Equal distribution of “visual weight” within quadrants of composition, but not identical elements Railroad Ferry Hudson River, New York Andreas Feininger
34
Many small or complex elements can balance a large simple one: Model in Backlight Pierre Bonnard
35
Small dark elements balance large light ones Model in Backlight Pierre Bonnard
36
Millions stand behind me John Heartsfield Proportion Size relationships within the composition
37
Proportion What the water gave me Frida Kahlo Relative size of elements compared to an external standard
38
