VARIETY

• Variety is the principle of art that

adds interest to an artwork.
• Variety works through juxtaposition and contrast.
When an artist places different visual elements next
to one another, he/she is using variety. Straight lines
next to curvy lines add variety. Organic shapes
among geometric shapes add variety. Bright colors
next to dull colors add variety.
• If an artist uses variety to draw the viewers
attention to a specific area in a composition then
variety morphs into emphasis, also a principle of
art. Principles of art bleed into one another. They
overlap.
