BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
in visual communication, refers to how the elements of art (line, texture, form. Value, colors shape and space ) relate to each other, within the composition in terms of their visual weight to create visual equilibrium.
Visual Balance
TYPES OF VISUAL BALANCE
- the exact or near matching of left and right sides of a three-dimensional form or a two-dimensional composition.
- occurs when you have different visual images on other side of a design, and yet the image still balance.
- type of balance based on a circle with its design extending from a center.
- Symmetrical balance
- Asymmetrical balance
- Radial
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
the principle of art that creates cohesiveness by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts.
sense of togetherness amongst other wise separate
Harmony
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
measure of how well each element of your design works together. It describes the overall design, and whether it’s components work to your message to your reader.
most important principle of design
holds your design together both visually and conceptually. It emphasizes your concept and theme and helps communicate. Through unity your elements aren’t competing with each other for attention.
Unity
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
defined as an area or object within the artwork that draws attention and becomes a focal point.
Emphasis
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
defined as a strong, regular repeated pattern of movement and sound. It is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement.
achieved through linear elements, alternating elements. Gradation.
Rhythm
TYPES OF RHYTHM
- repeating elements with no specific regular interval
- like the beating of a heart, it follows the same intervals over and over again.
- repeat more than one element design
- Random rhythm
- Regular rhythm
- Alternating rhythm
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in design. The issue is the relationship between objects, or parts of the whole. This means that it necessary to discuss it in terms of the context of standard used to determine it.
harmonious relationship between two or more elements of scale
Proportion
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
the principle of art that adds interest to an artwork.
adds interest by using contrasting elements within the composition.
Refers to the use of different qualities or instances of the visual elements. It is the opposite of repetitive or monotonous use of the elements.
Variety
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
simply repeating a single element many times in a design. And can be achieved by using repeated messages.
similar to rhythm and helps create a sense of movement
it is a recurrence of a particular line, pattern, shape and other visual elements in a single or part of the series.
Repetition
alternative venue for knowing ourselves and looking into the depths and real meaning of what we are doing in everyday life.

- Anything can be crafted by using different evocative descriptions of life experiences and explorations like photograph studies puppets and mask constructions and notepad studies
- Crafting Images
- Crafting Stories
- Crafting Instruments
- Crafting Movements
- Crafting Techniques
students receive guided instruction on how to start and finish a typical art project using efficiency and best practices.
Art making process
ART MAKING PROCESS
begins with sketching, grid-lining, drawing, or filling in underpaintings. In this phase, students learn about introductory best practices on techniques and approaches, and understanding the art concepts.
Phase One
ART MAKING PROCESS
includes adding multiple layers of tone, color, or paint within an artwork. Here, students are required to problem solve and are encouraged in their art to explore, manipulate, and master technique based art applications.
Phase Two
ART MAKING PROCESS
ends with students adding final detail and craftsmanship showcasing their finished projects. This includes demonstrating the understanding of the art elements, habits of mind and effort, communication skills, habits of work, composition concepts, and execution into a well crafted project.
Phase Three
STAGES OF ART MAKING
- This is one of the most exciting moments in the process of creating art: that beautiful moment when inspiration strikes
- While it’s not the most glamorous part of the creative process, it is the period that is vital to creating art. Basically, this is the time that elapses after you’ve had your idea, but before you start making art. It can transpire in many different ways.
- can be confused with the “percolation” period, but it is a more active and focused time. You’ve settled on your inspiration and how you’d like to proceed. Now, it’s a matter of figuring out how to make it happen.
- Finally, it’s time to make it happen! It is the time during which you are solidly on your path. You have your pen to paper, your brush to canvas. You are creating.
- After you create a piece of art, there might be a slight tizzy of activity: sharing it with family and friends, delivering it to a client or hanging it on the wall. But regardless of the end point of the art, its completion often leads to a period of it.

all involve outsiders taking something from a culture other than their own.
Cultural Appropriation
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
occurs when the possession of a tangible object (such as a sculpture) is transferred from members of one culture to members of another culture.
The removal of the friezes from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin is often regarded as a case of appropriation. The transfer of a totem pole from the site of a Haida village to a museum is another case of appropriation.
Object Material Appropriation
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
this form of appropriation involves the reproduction, by a member of one culture, of non-tangible works of art (such as stories, musical compositions or dramatic works) produced by some other culture.
A musician who sings the songs of another culture has engaged in appropriation, as has the writer who retells stories produced by a culture other than his own. Robert Bringhurst’s versions of Haida myths may count as appropriation . A recording made by an ethnomusicologist could also be an instance of appropriation.
Non Material Appropriation
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Sometimes artists do not reproduce works produced by another culture, but still take something from that culture.
In such cases, artists produce works with its elements in common with the works of another culture. White musicians who compose jazz or blues music are often said to have engaged in appropriation in this sense. Similarly, white Australians who paint in the style of the aboriginal peoples would be engaged in appropriation.
Stylistic Appropriation
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
This form is related to stylistic appropriation. Sometimes artists are influenced by the art of a culture other than their own without creating works in the same style.
Picasso, for example, was influenced by African carving, but his works are not in an African style. Similarly, Ravel was influenced by the jazz of African-Americans, but his compositions are not in a jazz idiom. Rather than appropriating an entire style, such attests’ have appropriated only basic ideas.
Motif Appropriation
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
occurs when someone from one culture represents members or aspects of another culture.
Many of Joseph Conrad’s novels involve appropriation, since Conrad frequently wrote about cultures other than his own. W. P. Kinsella’s stories about the Hobbema Indian reserve are often cited as examples of objectionable appropriation.
Subject Appropriation
the process of creating something using fibers gained from sources like plants, animals, insects (think silk worms!), or synthetic materials. Making it is an extremely old art form. Its fragments have been found dating back to prehistoric times and there’s a good reason for this.
