 HARMONY
• Most essential factor in a composition
• Also called UNITY
• Achieved when all the elements of a thing
are put together to come up with a coherent
whole
HARMONY
 BALANCE
• Known as physical equilibrium
• Stability produced by even
distribution of weight on each side of
the thing
• Classified as FORMAL and INFORMAL
BALANCE
BALANCE
 FORMAL BALANCE
• Exists if the weights at equal
distance from the center
are equal
• Also called symmetrical
balance
BALANCE – FORMAL

 FORMAL BALANCE
Bilateral Balance

• Bilateral symmetry is
present when the left
and right sides appear
the same.

BILATERAL BALANCE

Radial Balance
• Radial symmetry exists when the same
measure occurs from the central point to
the end of every radius.
• This symmetry applies to round objects
or those with radii like stars and
starfishes.
 FORMAL BALANCE
RADIAL BALANCE
 INFORMAL BALANCE
• Informal balance is present when the left
and the right sides of the thing, though
not identical in appearance, still display
an even distribution of weight.
• Also known as asymmetrical or occult

 RHYTHM
• Rhythm is the continuous use of a motif or repetitive
pattern of a succession of similar or identical items.
• It can be achieved by alternation use of two patterns
alternately), radiation (repetition of motif from the center
or toward it), progression use of motifs of varying sizes,
that is, from the smallest to the largest, or vice versa), or
parallelism use of a pattern with an equal distance from
each other).
RHYTHM
 RHYTHM
• Rhythm is exemplified by
concentric circles, by an alteration
of black and white stripes, by
checkered blue and orange squares.
• It is characterized as repetitive,
continuous, or flowing.

 PROPORTION
• Comparative relationship of the
different parts in relation to
the whole
• Proper and pleasing relationship of
one object with the others in a
design
PROPORTION
 EMPHASIS
• Giving proper importance on one or
more parts of the thing or the whole
thing itself
• Achieved by means of size or
proportion, shape, color, line,
position, and variety
 EMPHASIS
• More often than not, the artist
emphasizes the one with the bigger
size or proportion, the one with a
different shape or color, the one
with striking lines, the one
positioned at the center and the
one that is unique.
