What is bilateral symmetry?
When the elements are arranged equally on either
side of a central axis, the result is bilateral
symmetry.
True or False: if an advertisement
shows a picture of the product in the
bottom half of the image, and the
product name in the top half, the
result is symmetrical balance.
False! The result is asymmetrical
balance.
Which of the following is NOT a form
of balance?
- Symmetrical
- Flush

When a composition has identical
motifs and equal amount of space
between them, the result is:
Regular Rhythm
What areas does space include?

background,
foreground
and middle ground.
Which of the following is an example
of implied texture?

What is one way to create alternating
rhythm?
Alternating rhythm can be created in
several ways. One way is to introduce
a second motif. Another is to make a
change in the content or placement of
the original motif (like turning the motif
upside down).

Motif
is
the
unit
that
is
repeated
in
the
visual
pattern.
For
example,
in
a
blue
shirt

What is a texture?
Texture
is
the
quality
of
a
surface,

character,
or
what may be sensed by touch.
What is the
difference between
tactile texture and
implied texture?
TEXTURE
There are two types of texture:
Tactile texture (real texture) is the way the
surface of an object actually feels. Examples
of this include sandpaper, cotton balls, tree
bark, etc.
•
Implied texture is the way the surface of an
object looks like it feels. The texture may look
rough, fizzy, gritty, but cannot actually be felt.
This type of texture is used by artists when
drawing or painting.

light
and
dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork.
True or false: Rough textures tend to
draw the eye more so then smooth
textures.
True! Rough textures tend to draw the eye more so
then smooth textures. Placing them against one
another will create visual balance. In advertising,
the sharp angles of letters placed against organic
shapes can create contrasting textures as well.
What carries the most visual weight?
* Warm Colors
* Cool Colors
* Orange
* Blue
Chiaroscuro is a
term best described
