Leading Lines
- refers to a composition technique whereby the viewer's eye is attracted to lines that lead directly to the principle subject in the image.
Vertical Lines
- run up and down. They help stimulate feelings of dignity, height, grandeur and strength.
Horizontal Lines
- usually denote a repose, a calmness, tranquility and peacefulness.
Diagonal Lines
- use to create a strong impression of movement or you can use them to create a tremendous sense of depth.
Curved Lines
- may add beauty and grace to an image. They are also used as a popular design technique for leading the eye into the frame. In contrast to straight or patterned lines, meandering curved lines allow the eye to explore an image in a smooth, free-flowing manner.
Symmetrical Balance
- an imaginary line is drawn through the center of the work, both sides are exactly the same, and balanced in that way.
Asymmetrical Balance
Unity
- A principle of art, unity occurs when all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole.
Variety
- is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art.
Movement/Rhythm
- Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art.
- Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential.
Emphasis
- is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.
Proportion/Scale
- is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.
