Visual Definitions

PART 1

VISUAL DEFINITIONS

Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar. Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness. Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc. Repetition works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art. Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art. Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body. Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential. Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.

 

Objective- Each student must visually display the 9 definitions above, using only Triangle Squares & Circles. The only colors available for this project are. RED, YELLOW & BLUE. No mixing colors & you must show consistency in coloring.

 Tools- ANY, White 6”x6” square

Medium- ANY

Directions-

-Each student must show a visual representation for all 9 terms above.

-You must use the three geometric shapes listed below to complete your design.

-Your designs must be finished using construction paper and may not break the boundaries of the given workspaces.

-You must use all three colors and all three shapes in every design.

-You do not have to label your definitions.

Hints- Shapes can be any size. Shapes can be repeated as many times as needed.

Neatness counts Be Creative.

Size Requirements- Every student will receive 9- 6x6 working spaces.

Shapes can be any size as long as they clearly define these terms.
