PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Principles of Design- the consideration and arrangement of formal elements in a work of art. An artists expression,or composition, consisting of alignment, repetition, contrast, balance, proximity and space.
Alignment- something arranged in a straight line.
The alignment of the horizon and the borders of the picture create an interesting effect.
Repetition- repeating of and object in the Photograph more then once.
The repetition of tree trunks make a creative focus point for the viewer.
Contrast- opposites attract. Use black and white, large and small.
This piece uses contrast to draw attention to the dark elements of the piece.
Balance- an equality between the two sides of the photo
The balance of this piece is created from the symmetry of the building.
Proximity- the distance of the camera to the subject.
The proximity of the camera entitles the viewer to focus on the leaves rather then background elements.
Space- unoccupied area between the components of the piece.
Focused attention to the city and its lights is a result of the unoccupied space in the sky.
