all three look together and none can be understood without the others.
form refers to the total arrangment of the composition and to the very act of organizing and composing it.
When we look at images our minds take confusion and turn it into order.
Principles of Organization-guide the artist
harmony
variety
balance
proportion
dominance
movement
economy
harmony:the relationship between the sections of a composition are pleasing, like color, texture, ect. (common characteristics)
rythem is a continuance flow of repeated beats, the type depends on how ofter the beats are repeated. negative space creates a difference in the rythm but adds the the rythm. rythm creates pattern.
closure: is looking at something as a whole rather then the individual parts.GESTALT
variety is counterwight to harmony, too much harmony can lead to monotony
depth in a composition can creater contrast and help a form communicate its purpose and meaning.
It is impossible to consider principles of organization without balance.
balance types
gravitational equilibrium
force
symmetry
approximate symmetry
radial
asymmetry
proportion
dominance emphasizes important parts of compositions by isolation, placement, direction, scale, and character
movement is almost a trick of the eye. It makes you think of a particular movement when you look at the image
economy means to compose with efficiency expressing an idea as simply and directly as possible with no arbituary or excessive us of the elements
tectonic vs. atectonic- closed massive simple vs. open to a large degree
