NOTE:
Different sources list slightly different principles
of design. Some suggest rhythm and pattern are separate
principles
from repetition, others combine them with movement. Some do
not
include unity or another one of the principles listed on the this page.
Unity is listed on this website as "and sometimes unity" because, in my
opinion, it is a little different then the other principles.
Each
of
the other principles are a comparison of one part to another
part within an artwork. Unity is looking at all the
parts
combined
into a whole. As the principles are created by how the
elements
are
applied, I would argue that the unity of a piece is created by how the
principles have been applied. |
