The Principles of Design Song

(sing to the tune of Pop! Goes the Weasel)

All around the paper and pen
The Elements of Art ran
The artist had to place them to make
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
EMPHASIS! means something stands out
Rhythm makes your eyes dance
Pattern takes you round and round
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
Repetition means once and again
Contrast means opposites
Unity means the artwork makes sense
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
Movement makes the art look alive
Proportion shows the size
Balance is like an old-fashioned scale
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
Balance has some more to it yet
Symmetry means the same
Asymmetry means that nothings equal
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
All around the paper and pen
The Elements of Art ran
The artist had to place them to make
PRIN-ciples of DE-sign
