fundamental principles in dance and
theater.

• This means adding multiple, different
elements to break the monotony of an
artwork and make it more interesting.
SCALE AND PROPORTION
• The relationship of the elements,
specifically its relative size of parts of a
whole.
• For example, it is important to ensure
that the human is proportional to the
house, which means ensuring that the
size of the element suggests what they
are
• Repetition of certain elements to
produce a pattern.
• In visual arts, repeated design elements
may create a certain flow and may lead
the viewer’s eyes.
• In music, the even distribution of notes
BALANCE
• The even and equal distribution of
elements.
• There are two types of balance in visual
arts:
• Informal balance (asymmetrical) is
present when the designs are not
equally distributed on both sides.
• Formal balance (symmetrical) is present
when the weight of the designs is
equally distributed.

EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION

• Emphasis refers to the greater impact
given on a certain element.
• Subordination is the opposite of
emphasis. This is how certain elements
only serve as a supplement to the
emphasized element in a design.
