STRUCTURE
Overlaps with space and rhythm
How elements of the visual expression merge to “create an organized whole”
Expresses emotion
Main idea to consider: What makes a work of art different from the world it represents?
Every work of art has one
SYMMETRY
Unity• Sense of visual equilibrium
When you put a mirror down the middle, it looks the same on both sides
Symmetry• Can be divided directly down the middle• Dignity, stability, and tranquility exemplify structures that are
symmetrical• Perfect symmetry, perfect balance • Example: Taj Mahal; posses a sense of formality & order, lightness
FOCAL POINTS
Can have different contrasts as displayed in both of these pictures• Different colors draw your eye to different parts of the painting• As a whole, you just see the entire image as one entity • These pictures challenge the eye• The picture can have two actions being displayed but as a whole are
one picture• All these artists try to display the time of day using shadows and the
use of reflecting lights on the image
Multiple Points of Attraction • Rely on more than one point of focus to bring to an organized whole
(structure). • Enables viewer to “fully explore” work of art

ASYMMETRICAL
Asymmetrical • Appears active • Creates visual tension • No unity in the picture• Different focal points• Artists use of creativity to make it asymmetrical • Draws viewers attention to more than one area
• Eyes continuously on the move
APPROXIMATE SYMMETRY
Both halves of the painting relate to each other if you divide it down the middle
Painted to appear from afar to capture the horizon
Some may have different focal points conveying the different actions displayed in the picture
LINES
Each picture consists of various lines take make up the entire scene.
The churches display a sense visual hierarchy
backdrop value contrast• Not busy, simple, helps accentuate the main focal
