Studio Art | Feb 21, Period 7

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

Students are given handouts on balance.

"Balance basically refers to whether the art work looks like it's going to fall over any second. Now this can be a good thing if that was the look you were going for, but on the whole, the vast majority of good art works contain some form of balance.

"There are two main forms of visual balance used in art. Symmetrical and asymmetrical.

"Symmetrical balance is pretty basic. The elements on one side of the work are mirrored on the other side. This gives a very stable form of balance.

"Asymmetrical balance is a bit trickier. It involves using repetition, size, positioning, and colour value to balance out the various elements of an artwork."

"There's no homework this week as you have a midterm coming up, so be sure to study hard for it."

Angel took notes. Or drew lots of sketches of Callisto. Possibly both.

Parker is still not glancing at him, because there's ink under his ear, and it looks like it might say "gilded." Yikes.

Instead, she's drawing sailboats, and trying to balance them out with triangular rocks on the shore.

Kara doodles in her notebook. Even doodles need good balance.

Zero draws a little band of four people, with instruments, and tries to balance them out so Toby's incredibly tall hair doesn't overwhelm the drawing.

Too lazy to change logins. This class is open until I put up the studio, so if you just post today you'll be fine.
