Unit 3: Evaluation – Principles of Design
Im trying to learn for my Art & Design class and Im stuck. Can you help?
Introduction
Remember, to really think through a work of art, we’re thinking about the artist’s choices. With the Principles of Design we start thinking about a more complex set of choices. Now we’re looking at the relationships between all of the Visual Elements, and even the relationship of the work to you as the viewer. Which parts of the work are emphasized? Which are repeated? Is there a rhythm to some of the elements? Does the work seem to be balanced or unbalanced? Unified or chaotic? How does that affect your reaction?
Like with the individual Visual Elements, part of the meaning of the work emerges from these relationships between them, which we’ve called the Principles of Design.
