    Unity and variety are important principles in art. Unity refers to a coherent and harmonious whole where all elements belong together, while variety provides diversity and counterbalances extreme unity. Balance is achieved through opposing forces that create equilibrium, and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Emphasis is used to draw attention to key areas through techniques like position, contrast, color intensity and size, while subordination de-emphasizes other, less important areas. Contrast and repetition/rhythm also create visual interest, as does appropriate scale and proportion in a work.

    UNITY AND VARIETY Unity refers to the appearance or condition of oneness of an artwork All the elements such as line,

    color, texture, and others belong together that result in having a coherent and harmonious whole As variety provides diversity
    yet it acts as counterbalance to extreme unity

    BALANCE is the condition in which acting influences are held in check by opposing forces or what is in the left side should
    appear on the right side also inorder to achieve equilibrium. The near or exact matching of left and right sides of a three-
    dimensional form or a two-dimensional composition is called symmetrical balance. Two sides which are not the same is
    asymmetrical balance

    EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION To draw our attention to an area or areas, the artist uses emphasis. To create
    emphasis, position, contrast, color intensity, and size can all be used. Neutral areas of lesser interest are created by artist
    through subordination to keep us from being distracted from the areas of emphasis.

    CONTRAST The juxtaposition of strongly dissimilar elements is called contrast Dark set against light, large against small,
    bright colors against dull are examples of contrasts. Visual experience becomes monotonous without contrast. Contrast can be
    seen also in the thick and thin areas of a single brushstroke.

    REPETITION AND RHYTHM The repetition of visual elements gives a composition of unity, continuity, flow. and emphasis
    Rhythm in the visual art, is created through the regular recurrence of elements with related variations

    SCALE AND PROPORTION Scale is the relation of one thing to another It is one of the first decisions an artist makes when
    planning a work of art, Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole

    The seven elements of art are:

    1 Line

    2 Shape

    3. Space

    4 Value

    5. Color

    6. Texture

    7. Perspective

    Line is our basic means for recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and feelings; it is a primary means of visual
    communication. Lines always have direction. They are always active.

    Shape refers to the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional a within the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional
    object

    Space is the indefinable, general receptacle of all things. It is continuous infinite, and ever present The visual arts are
    sometimes referred to spatial arts, because most of the art forms are organized in space.

    Value refers to the lightness and darkness of surfaces. It ranges from white to various grays to black It can be a property of
    color or an element independent color

    Color is a component of light, affects us directly by modifying our thoughts, moods, actions, and even our health. Color exists
    only in light, but light itself seems colorless to the human eye. The so called "color" is the effect on our eyes of light waves of
    differing wavelengths or frequencies.

    Texture The textile qualities of surfaces or to the visual representation of those qualities is referred to as texture, in visual
    arts Actual textures are those we can feel by touching. Simulated textures are those created to look like something other than
    pain on a flat surface Painters simulate texture, while sculptors and architects make use of actual texture
    Perspective is point of view In visual arts, it can refer to any means of representing three dimensional objects in space on a
    two-dimensional surface It is a system designed to depict the way objects in space appear to the eye. In linear perspective
    objects appear smaller at a distance, because parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance, and the last
    meeting of the lines on the horizon is called vanishing point.

    Oscar-Claude Monet was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to
    modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it.

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a
    celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition
    which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
