Harmony


Harmony is when things go well together. In this color wheel, it shows the different types of unity. Colors beside each other go very well together as to when the colors are far apart from each other.

Asymmetrical balance

This picture represents asymmetrical balance. This picture represents asymmetrical balance because there are 4 pieces of pawns on the right side when there is only one bishop on the left side.

Symmetrical balance

This picture represents symmetrical balance. This represents symmetrical balance because if a line was there in the middle of the picture, it would be the same on both sides.

Emphasis

This picture represents emphasis. What I would like to stress on its small body. I am putting emphasis on the body because the body is usually bigger than both the hand and the head.

Proportion


This picture represents proportion. The dog is much larger than the cat is, representing what is bigger and what is smaller. The relationship between the dog and the cat is enmity where they are both fighting showing attraction to the cat.

Rhythm

This picture represents rhythm. This picture represents rhythm because there are numerous types of circles surrounded by an circle and so on.

Color

This picture represents color. This picture represents color because it shows confusion in one's mind as the colors swirl in circles leading in the same spot.

Texture

This is a n example of texture. I chose this picture because of the rough scales of the snake. The texture of the snake is rough.

Shape


This picture represents shape. I chose this picture because the black cloud makes an inverted, side fliped image of  'A', 'B' and '2' when it overlaps, so this image represents motion.

Line

This is an example of a line. I chose this picture because it is a bunch of straight lines that form different shapes like a triangle, trapazoid, circle and a semi-circle.
