RHYTHM
✓ MOTIF - a decorative design or pattern
What is balance?
- is a condition or quality which gives a feeling of rest,
repose, equilibrium or stability.
❖ It is more pleasing to group 3 objects with another three, two objects with
three than to group two objects with two or two with four. Because odd
numbers are more interesting then even numbers.
❖ Very small objects should not be grouped with very large ones. Otherwise,
they will be out of proportion.
EMPHASIS
✓Artists use emphasis to make
certain parts of their artwork
standout and grab your attention
✓ An object or an act
intended to increase the
beauty of a person, room
etc.
-Simple decorations
which are placed against
sufficient plain
background will be more
emphatic than when the
background space is
small.
METHODS of EMPHASIZING OBJECTS

Shapes, and Colors
6. By Action or
Movement
✓ Dynamic illustrations
usually attract more
attention than
passive ones.
