This is a copy of the notes I give my students when we study the Principles of Design. It can be used as a handout or an outline for a lecture or giving notes.
We focus on contrast, emphasis, balance, unity, pattern, rhythm, and movement. In addition to the notes, a worksheet is included for students to sketch an artwork (from a famous artist or from your classroom) and write about how the artist uses the Principles of Design.
