Emphasis/Rhythm/Negative Space Assignment

RHYTHM AND MOVEMENT: The term rhythm as a principle of design indicates the repetition of visual elements, such as shapes, lines, or spaces. Visual rhythm creates the sensation of movement as the viewer’s eyes follow the “beats” through a work of art.

EMPHASIS: This principle makes one part of a work dominant over the other parts. An artist uses emphasis to focus the viewer’s attention on the most important areas of a work of art.

Select one shape, or element (triangle, square, rectangle, Line etc…) and create a artistic composition that uses Rhythm and Emphasis.

You need to complete two different designs

Each design needs to be 10 inches wide by 8 inches high with a resolution of 72

Does your design have…

Rhythm?
Emphasis?                                                                                                                                                                                                             
Balance?
Contrast?
Unity?
Variety?
