Principles Of Design *** Rhythm

Rhythm is a repeted motion, something that continues at an even pace or is evenly placed. Rhythm can also play tricks on your eyes.

This field above shows rhythm because the fences are evnly spaced apart to contain the green plants.

This picture above shows how rhythm can cause you to see the picture move when it isn't moving at all.

Principles Of Design *** Assymetrical Balance

Assymetrical balance is when a picture seems balance but when you divide the page/image in half, both sides are different but the denseness and the multiple objects can balance each other out.

The waterfall shows asymmetrical balance because both sides are balanced out by the other waterfalls.



This picture above shows assymetrical balance. Ichose this picture because at first glance it looks like it is symmetrical but a closer look tells you that there are significant differences in the image. For example, at the bottom, one side has an avatar while the other has some deadly creature.



Principles Of Design *** Symmetry

Symmetry is when a picture can be cut through the middle and both halves of the picture would be the same.



The Egyptian Sphinx was built so that it was symmetrical, see if you draw a line through the middle of it, both sides would be the same.

 

This immage is symmetrically divided at the points where the water meets land. Both sides, if it could be folded, would be exactly the same.



Harmony is when somethings go well with each other, for example, things that complement each other or are total opposites like the Yin and Yan.



This picture shows harmony because as you can see on first glance, they go well together and even though they are opposites (fire and water) they compliment each other.



Principles Of Design *** Porportion

Porportion in principles of design is shown when one object seems larger than another in comparison, but the objects are simmilar. Porportion is also when two objects have the same ration but can be made bigger or smaller but remain with the same ratio. 


The big dog has been blown up in porportion meaning that it is probably 5 times bigger than an original dog. Looking at this dog compared to the fence and the small cat can definitly show how porportion is used.




This picture shows a gorilla inside a jar and that the gorilla can be compared to the size of the child. Clearly no gorilla can be that small. That is how this shows porportion.



Principles Of Design *** Emphasis

Emphasis is a principal of design that gives a particular are more dominace and stands out against the surrounding area.

In this picture, the rose is emphasised because the bright red rose is placed against a dull white background causing the viewers to look at the rose first.

In this image, the lips are emphasized, the seem larger, are more brightly coloured so eyes are draw to it first. Also the shape of the lip is wierd which add more emphasis to the lips

Elements Of Design *** Colour

Colour is an element of design that draws the viewers attention. Colour makes things look more appealing and therefore causes strong emotion feels. For example, red and black can make you feel really angry while sunshine yellow or sky blue can lift a persons mood.




In the picture above, there is a lot of colour and is moving, because of the colours applied to this wheel, it draws the viewers attention away from other things to just the wheel itself.

 

In the image above, your eyes are drawn to the paint first. This is a good example of colour because it shows how the bright colours work against a black background making the paint colours pop out!

As you can see, colour can also affect you phycologically . If you read the words above, many people will just be stating the colours automatically and nit the words themselves.



Elements Of Design *** Texture

Texture shows the feel of an object. For example: the roughness or smoothness of an object.



This ppicture shows texture because you can see the dents and roughness of the wall beside the stairs and the stairs themselves are smooth with sharp edges.




This picture shows how wrinkled some areas are compared to other areas. It shows how elevated some areas are and their smoothness compared to the lower areas which are rougher.

 

Elements Of Design *** Shape

Shape is something that is outlined to distinguish its form from the surrounding area. All shapes are made up of lines and take up space.

This shows shape overlapping other shapes to create more shapes. like triangles overlapping other triangles to make circles and swuares within.

Elements OF Design *** Line

Line is an element of design that form shapes and patterns. They come in many forms, for example: loose, straight, curly, jagged and etc. The repetition of lines can cause the forming of patterns and can have emotional impact on people like confusion, anger and happiness :)


This picture demonstrated the many types of lines there are, for exapmle, there are multiple wavy, jaged and curly lines. Looking at this picture sort of makes you feel confused as you try to understand the art. This would be the emotional impact the artwork would have on you.



Blogs

Blogs are so frustrating!!!
First you have to think of the title and stuff and then you have to to write stuff!
So because  i dont know what to write about, i'll talk about today (even if it is only the first period)
k so i woke up
and then i got ready and stuff and then i went out into the freezing cold outside world
I like the crush commercial on tv, cuz that guy is so wierd.
oh one time i went skiing and i fell down on the toe-rope because sometimes i lose my balance if i stand still for too long so then i got all tangled up in my ski's. and then people are just watching and telling me to roll off the toe-rope but they weren't the ones tangled up so eventually i rolled off and lost both of my ski poles. and then someone tried to be helpful and threw me my skie pole but it landed right out of my reach because gravity started pulling me down. and then we went home.
