Balance• Designs should always achieve a

sense of visual balance- how the art elements are distributed in a design.

• You shouldn’t place all your same elements of art on the same side and place on the paper.

• This could make one part of your artwork seem “heavy”.

Shepard Fairey

Movement

• When your artwork is balanced, it creates movement:

• How your eye is lead around a design.

• Your eye does not get “stuck” on one part of the design.

• This creates a visual flow and can help people understand your artwork better. Edgar Degas
