Art Talk, chapter 9Balance : 

Art Talk, chapter 9Balance Art II created by Zoe Williams, 10-2007

Balance is the visual weight of an artwork. Balance is a principle of art. : 

Balance is the visual weight of an artwork. Balance is a principle of art. Christ Church, Oxford Leaning Tower of Pisa This church looks balanced. There is equal weight on the right and left sides. This bell tower is unbalanced. Why do people want things to be and look balanced?

How do you know if something is balanced or unbalanced? : 

How do you know if something is balanced or unbalanced? Check for a central axis. A central axis is a dividing line, the center of balance. A central axis may be vertical, horizontal, or appear as a point. E D 8

Formal Balance : 

This is also called bilateral symmetry. Bi-lateral two sided Formal balance occurs when equal or very similar elements are placed on either side of a central axis. Formal Balance The Alamo, Texas

Formal Balance : 

This is also called bilateral symmetry. Bi-lateral two sided Formal balance occurs when equal or very similar elements are placed on either side of a central axis. Formal Balance The Alamo, Texas not bilaterally symmetrical

Approximate symmetry? : 

Approximate symmetry? Why does one of these faces look more natural than the other?

Slide 8: 

Radial Symmetry Radial Symmetry

Slide 9: 

Radial Symmetry Radial Symmetry

Slide 10: 

Radial symmetry occurs when equal or very similar elements radiate from a central axis point.

Quiz time… : 

Quiz time… In your sketchbook, number your paper from 1 to 10.

Slide 12:
