Question

Look closely at this piece. Describe what you see. You will want to include the following principles of design in your answer: balance, proportion, harmony, variety, and movement.

Answer 1

Balance is shown here because there appears to be an even number of light and dark rectangles, neither overpowering the other. Proportion is created by the relative size of each form in the painting, in which no part seems under or over sized. There's harmony and variety because while each rectangle has its own uniqueness, they tie together because the rectangles are just varying hues of grey. This piece creates movement because the rectangles are either vertical or horizontal, depending on where they're looking, the viewer's eyes will move either up and down, or left and right.

Answer 2

In this painting the balance of the shading create a certain type of movement. The harmony of the shading and the light that the artist wants us to see is perfect and well maintained while the variety is wonderful.
