Here yall go Principles of Design-Arrange the elements of art into a composition Composition-The way an artwork is arranged Movement-The path the viewer's eye takes through the artwork, often to areas of focus Balance-The visual weight of each element is distributed in a way that makes the composition feel stable Symmetrical Balance-The artwork could be divided in half and both sides would look the same Asymmetrical Balance-A type of balance in which the two sides of the artwork are different, but still feel stable Unity-Using similar or repeated elements in an artwork to create consistency (marks,mood,colors,theme,etc) Variety-Using many different elements to create interest or contrast in an artwork Rhythm-Repeating elements in order to create a feeling of organized movement Pattern-A repeated design Scale-The comparison of one object to another in terms of size Proportion-Ratio; comparing parts of a whole in terms of size Emphasis-What we focus on in an artwork. Usually the largest or most details areas Contrast-The amount of difference between elements Value contrast-The amount of difference between values High contrast-There is a large difference between the lightest and darkest areas- edges look harder Low Contrast-There is not much difference between the lightest and darkest areas - Edges look softer Juxtaposition-Combining two or more unlike things to show contrast

Sometimes art teachers know the best videos for explaining art principles to students who only are used to watching things on their cell phones.

[@nobuhlejijimba9504]

yeah true. you are my nephew yes you are

[@rarepinay2065]

everyone is here from art since your teacher didn't want to teach you themselves??

[@kiankarlyumul5101]

LOL. SO ACCURATE

[@endanarchy]

I can get my Grade 5 art teacher feeling relief because this grown man finally got what she couldn't get him to understand when he was a boy. Thank you.

[@KrisPBacon-ul1rx]

11:30 that duck is actually real, I believe. If I remember correctly, the rubber duck is roughly 6 stories tall and called Mama Duck. She lives in Canada.

[@ridingmom700]

Thanks! One point about variety more important in art that thinking a variety of different elements is variation amongst similar elements. Each fence post can be a slightly different height, lean different directions, be lighter or darker than it’s neighbors, have variation in color or temperature, or in line work etc to be more visually interesting. 😊

[@mr.duckling8216]

haha, that is axctually a really great example.

[@rh0yal959]

nah my teacher just to lazy and she linked this video for us to watch 😔

[@moneyc91]

Thank you so much!!! I'm trying to help an artist friend of mine with doing some descriptions/ editorial work on her website...and because I'm not an artist, I knew I needed a crash course in art terminology. Reading articles on the subject matter honestly made my head hurt. Thank you soooo much for breaking this down into lamen's terms for me! You're a life saver!

[@Nukepuke]

be quiet

[@moneyc91]

You're a bit late on this comment, aren't you? I wrote this THREE YEARS ago. Besides, who are you, an internet stranger, to tell another LITERAL STRANGER to be quiet? Just because you said that I ought to come back here at least once a day, every day, to leave a random comment and boost the algorithim for this video. I mean, if you want to come on here and be childish, what's to stop me from doing the same? When I initially left this comment(for the content creator, not some random nobody, mind you), it was to thank the creator for providing information I needed at the time. Honestly... don't you have something better to do?@@Nukepuke

This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject. Thankyou, this is great.

[@cristianmartin8992]

Amazing job jesica.

[@folvaen]

art teachers please stop forcing us to watch these videos when all these vocab dont mean anything if you dont actually know how to use it in your works. Composition is more than ticking boxes. An art piece isnt good Just because you can tick a bunch of art terms it has. Help your students by teaching them the fundamentals. Line, anatomy, value, shapes, etc.. Learning how to use those things. Learning how to balance compositions. Centered compositions work and have been used professionally. Art has no rules. Rather than tell them the different kinds of lines, and all these different vocab words. It's not going to make the student learn how to make better art at all. its like telling people to shade a sphere to learn how to shade. they are not going to understand planes and forms just by copying someone elses drawing of a sphere.

[@rhsart-mclean]

Everyone learns differently. While it might not make sense to you, some students need the words first. And some teachers are more about art appreciation and analysis than studio skills. As are many students.

[@poprunna281]

Hello scholars.

[@vivianasante2524]

Thanks for it plus the examples making it easier

[@godsentoz2115]

POV: everyone watching this is a student sent by a teacher going to the comments for one of many reasons

[@MysticRhythmsYoga]

I am actually watching this as I study for my FL art teaching certification. I really hope to find ways to teach art myself to kids in the future. As a BFA holder, I would hope to actually teach rather than just link videos to students.

[@FriendOfJules]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bobbyjoseph7788]

Simply beautiful lecture

[@spacepunk_nappy]

I'm a Teaching Artist that still work as an artist...because I just apply everything explained like second nature,I watch these videos to remind myself of the technical terminology in order to guide my students better,especially for portfolios...

[@birhanustehay8695]

nice explanation! Thank u so much dearJescia!

[@arijitbiswas2065]

The explanation was very well

[@NguyenHoa-xe3oe]

like if you also have to watch this in art class

[@mrs.kuryla1679]

Hi, for information, accidentally I believe, you've mentioned at 3:42, that the "next element we're going to talk about is balance..." You likely meant to say, "The next principle ... is balance...

We all make mistakes sometimes...

POV: your art teacher didn’t want to teach you so they sent you here

[@ArtfullyYoursArtSensei]

This is an insightful one, however, I wonder how you differentiate rhythm and movement because I always thought that rhythm is about “flow” and movement is “action”, but your example in Rhythm and Movement made me confused. Any thoughts?

[@jeroenfigee]

8:55 > see that 2nd picture and immediately thought of Jon Hassell's: PowerSpot-album artwork .... . Thumbs up for the video :-)

[@maxim_5559]

Your here bc of school😀

[@jjoshua1281]

How many of your are watching this before nata exam 😀

[@MrVaughan98]

Do you have to use all the principles of design in every piece of design

[@jesciahopper]

You do not! Just whatever helps your piece look composed and cohesive.

[@zvonimirjuric3213]

Very good. I' m starting to learn about graphic design and i wondering what is the best way to practice this principles? Is there same specific exercises that I can do? Thanks

[@23ablank]

One really helpful exercise is to limit yourself to a working area of a 3"x3" square - and then just use the shape of a square to try to explore each principle. For example you could use a large square next to a small square for contrast. You could also crop the square off the artboard to create a different shape like a triangle that could help create some tension in the composition .. or use multiple squares to create rhythm. You can also assign yourself 3-5 compositions per principle to really push yourself to explore the potential. Hope that helps!

[@zvonimirjuric3213]

@@23ablank Thank you so much.

[@23ablank]

@@zvonimirjuric3213 no problem! That was an exercise I did when I started design - but it we explored different adjectives. So you could always try that too.

[@susanburr3361]

Thank you ever so much for your element and principle videos. Your teaching and examples are outstanding. I use your work with my students as a foundation I hope lasts their lifetime.

[@rhanyaismael3728]

thank you for the knowledge, we'll be reporting this topic on friday of this week!! 🥹✊🏻✊🏻

[@mr.duckling8216]

Got more information from a 20 min video, then my 1.5 years in a university.

[@xionghelen900]

I am curious when famous artists create their works, do they know the principles of design and follow them?

[@jesciahopper]

I can't speak for every artist ever, but many well-known artists are formally trained, which means they learn all of these concepts and seek to apply them (whether consciously or subconsciously) in their work! It's helpful to read artist statements or other writings by artists about their work, as you are able to see their thought process about creation :)

[@masocistbottles7552]

Greetings from graphic arts

[@jackiecopeland1835]

POV: you’re a student in art class

First Uwu! Btw my art teacher watches you and makes us watch you. Love your art tho do your best

[@vverityy]

Thank uuu :)

[@rosamystika5057]

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between movement and rhythm

[@Kye456]

Rhythm is the repetition that helps unify art. Think of how once a concert ends, everyone claps at the same time. Movement is exactly how it sounds. Movement represents direction. Or implied direction. For example, if an artist drew a picture of a road. Movement can also be represented through contrast. Imagine standing in front of a lit room down into a dark hallway. The movement portrayed here is the movement of light as it begins to dull. I hope this helps! :)

[@moilar7985]

Rhythm is similar to Pattern, but it's different in that the repeated elements differ. For example, repeating stripes of the same two colors is a pattern - but if the width of the stripes varies based on the shade of the color, it creates a rhythm. Movement is less visual and more psychological (at least as it was explained to me). When a viewer first sees a piece of art, what areas or elements draw the eye the most? How does it guide the viewer to look around at the different parts of the artwork? Usually the background of a piece is darker or greyer than the foreground, so your eyes are likely drawn to the lightest or brightest colors first. From there, lines and shapes (or the implication of such) create a path for the viewer to follow. The artist can deliberately create this movement with the arrangement of visual elements to indicate to the viewer what the most important parts of the artwork are.
