Question

Look at this artwork by Paul Klee, 1922, titled “Senecio”

Identify at least 3 principles of design you see.
Discuss how they impact the artwork.

Answer 1

The 3 principles of design that I see are the brown, dark background, the choice of vibrant colours for the face, the pink & white really making it a statement. I can see that the 2nd principle is the variety with this artwork piece. The use of unique colours & shapes, sizes. The 3rd principle is the balance & statement that the actual artwork is making itself.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Contrast is one principle. The brown background is dark and really makes the face pink and white if the face stand out.

second principal is variety. different shapes and colors used throughout.

Lastly there's a sense of balance. the artwork could be split down the middle and be close to identical. just that the eyes aren't placed exactly the same and the different colors.
