PRINCIPLES OF ART
Composition - the arrangement of formal elements in a work of art.
Pattern/RepetitionBalanceRhythm/MovementProportion & ScaleEmphasisUnity/Harmony Variety/Contrast
Pattern & RepetitionPattern refers to the repetition or reoccurrence of a design
element, exact or varied, which establishes a visual beat.
Blanket Tlingit people, Chilkat style. Mountain goat wool and cedar bark, 31" × 71", excluding fringe.
Pattern may function as decoration.Pattern helps organize ideas into visual diagrams that make relationships clear.
Functions
Rhythm & MovementRhythm or Movement refers to the suggestion of motion through the use of various elements
Time and Motion, particularly in photography, film, kinetic sculpture and performance art are directly related to this principle.

Kinetic Art Examples
BalanceBalance - placing elements so that their
visual weights seem evenly distributed.
Types of balance: Symmetrical: exact or even balance of objects or activity in a
composition (mirror images)
Asymmetrical: careful distribution of uneven elements. counterbalanced with contrasts such as dull and bright colors, dark with light values, geometric with organic shapes, active and inactive areas
Radial: objects or activity rotating around a center point
Symmetrical Balance
