Principles of Design
The Principles of Design and the Elements
of Art are the areas from which the Greenwood curriculum is developed
in grades K - 5. The Principles and Elements are used in curriculum
to fulfill the state standards of art.
Rhythm:
The repetition of lines, shapes or colors to create a feeling of
movement.
Balance:
Arrangement of elements so that no one part of a work overpowers
any other part. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial.
Proportion:
The size relationships of one part to another. Scale refers to size
measured against a standard reference like a person.
Emphasis:
When one part of an artwork stands out more than other parts, it
is emphasized. Emphasis leads a viewer's eye to the most important
part of a work of art.
Variety:
Creates interest through the use of different lines, shapes and
colors in a work of art.
Harmony:
A pleasing relationship between parts of a work of art. Colors,
shapes, patterns and textures are just some of elements.
Unity: The feeling of wholeness or oneness that is accomplished
by properly using . . .
