Grade 9 Art - Day 28

Harmony In our continuing study of art terminology, I want to return to Kent State's page on Visual Literacy, for the following examples of Harmony. Harmony in visual design means all parts of the visual image relate to and complement each other. Harmony pulls the pieces of a visual image together. Harmony can be achieved through repetition and rhythm. Repetition re-emphasizes visual units, connecting parts and creating an area of attention. Patterns or shapes can help achieve harmony. By repeating patterns in an interesting arrangement, the overall visual image comes together. When all the elements of design come together, and the result is visually appealing, Harmony has been achieved.
