The document discusses several principles of art design including balance, rhythm, contrast, movement, unity, emphasis, and pattern. Balance refers to how visual elements are positioned so that their visual weight is evenly distributed. Rhythm conveys movement through repetition. Contrast uses opposing elements like light and dark to add variation. Movement guides the viewer's eye along lines and colors. Unity unites all design principles into an aesthetically cohesive whole. Emphasis draws attention to a focal point. Pattern increases visual interest through regular repetition of elements.

ideas is balance, which refers to how visual elements are positioned so that their visual weight harmonizes with the other parts in the design and the composition appears to be evenly distributed. This brings up a another term to discuss: visual weight. RHYTHM
Rhythm is a principle of design that
conveys movement or action. Rhythm is frequently produced through repetition of lines, forms, colors, and more. It generates a visual tempo in artworks and provides a path for the viewer's eye to follow. CONTRAST
Contrast. Contrast is an artistic
notion that relates to the juxtaposition of opposing components and effects. Light and dark hues, smooth and rough textures, and huge and small shapes are only a few examples. Contrast can be used to add variation, aesthetic intrigue, and drama in an artwork. MOVEMENT
The journey that a viewer's
attention travels to the piece of art, frequently leading to the focus parts, is known as movement as a design principle. Within the design, such movement might be directed along lines, edges, shapes, and colors. UNITY
Unity is a design principle that unites all
other design principles inside a piece of work, allowing each individual aspect to cohabit with one another to create an aesthetically acceptable design. EMPHASIS
Emphasis is a strategy that
aims to draw the viewer's attention to a specific design element. The aim is to create a focal point in the design: an eye-catching part that stands out, distinct from the rest of the design elements. PATTERN
Pattern as a principle of design may be defined
as regular arrangement of repeated same elements i.e. line, shape, colors over and over again. Pattern usually increases the visual excitement by supplementing surface interest
