    The document discusses several principles of design in visual art: unity and variety, which refer to coherence and diversity in an artwork's elements; balance, which is the equilibrium between opposing forces that can be symmetrical or asymmetrical; emphasis and subordination, using techniques like size, contrast and position to draw attention or create neutral areas; contrast through juxtaposing dissimilar elements; repetition and rhythm through regularly recurring elements; and scale and proportion as the size relationships within and between components of an artwork.

    A.

    UNITY AND VARIETY Unity refers to the appearance or condition of the


    oneness of an artwork. All the elements such as line, color, texture, and
    others belong together, which results in having a coherent and
    harmonious whole. As variety provides diversity, yet it acts as a
    counterbalance to extreme unity.
    B. BALANCE Balance is the condition in which acting influences are held in
    check by opposing forces or what is on the left side should appear on
    the right side also in order to achieve equilibrium. The near or exact
    matching of the left and right sides of a three-dimensional form or a
    two-dimensional composition is called symmetrical balance. Two sides
    that are not the same is asymmetrical balance.
    C. EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION To draw our attention to an area or
    areas, the artist uses emphasis. To create emphasis, position, contrast,
    color intensity, and size can all be used. Neutral areas of lesser interest
    are created by artists through
    D. CONTRAST The juxtaposition of strongly dissimilar elements is called
    contrast. Dark set against light, large against small, bright colors against
    dull are examples of contrasts. Visual experience becomes monotonous
    without contrast. Contrast can be seen also in the thick and thin areas of
    a single brushstroke.
    E. REPETITION AND RHYTHM The repetition of visual elements gives a
    composition of unity, continuity, flow, and emphasis. Rhythm in visual
    art is created through the regular recurrence of elements with related
    variations.
    F. SCALE AND PROPORTION The scale is the relation of one thing to
    another. It is one of the first decisions an artist makes when planning a
    work of art. Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole.
