Students spent a week learning about the Principles of Art, so we could then learn about Art Criticism. In order to critique artworks, students must have all the correct vocabulary first.
Principles of Art
1. Balance - Formal (symmetrical), Informal (asymmetrical) and Radial
2. Emphasis - Making an element or object stand out
3. Harmony - similar elements working together to create a pleasing appearance
4. Variety - combining elements with slight changes to increase interest
5. Movement - the look and feel of action and guides the viewer's eye throughout the work
6. Pattern - two-dimensional effect created by repeating colors, shapes and/or textures
7. Proportion - how parts relate to the whole
8. Rhythm - the repetition of an element to make a work seem active
