Design Principles

Balance

is created in an artwork by using lines, shapes, and colour.

Contrast

is used when different elements like shape, form, or colours, are put next to each other to make something easier to see to create artistic effects like texture.

Emphasis

is used to make certain parts of the artwork stand out so that they become the focal point, where your eye goes first.

Pattern

is made up of lines, colours, or shapes that are repeated in a planned way.

Rhythm

is created when you repeat art elements and create patterns.

Proportion

is about the size or position of an object compared to another.

Harmony

is when different parts of an artwork feel as though they fit and work together.

Variety

is created by making something in the artwork look different from the rest.
