 Square or a rectangle suggest familiarity
and equality.

property of a color which pertains to its

VARIETY
 May be referred to as diversity.
 This means adding multiple, different
elements to break the monotony of an
artwork and make it more interesting.
SCALE AND PROPORTION
 The relationship of the elements,
specifically its relative size of parts of a
whole.
 For example, it is important to ensure that
the human is proportional to the house,
which means ensuring that the size of the
element suggests what they are
RHYTHM
 Repetition of certain elements to produce
a pattern.
 In visual arts, repeated design elements
may create a certain flow and may lead
the viewer’s eyes.
 In music, the even distribution of notes
BALANCE
 The even and equal distribution of
elements.
 There are two types of balance in visual
arts:
 Informal balance (asymmetrical) is
present when the designs are not equally
distributed on both sides.
  Formal balance (symmetrical) is present
when the weight of the designs is equally
distributed.

EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION

 Emphasis refers to the greater impact
given on a certain element.
 Subordination is the opposite of
emphasis. This is how certain elements
only serve as a supplement to the
emphasized element in a design.
