1. Elements of 3D Design

Define

Balance: Symmetricl- balance is seen in perfectl

y centered compositions or those with mirror

images. In a design with only two elements they would be almost identical or have nearly the same visual mass.

Balance: Asymmetrical- when several smaller items on one side are balanced by a larger item on the other side, or smaller items are placed further away from the center of the screen than larger items. One darker item may need to be balanced by several lighter items.

Balance: Radial- where all elements radia

te out from a center point in a circular fashion. It is very easy to maintain a focal point in radial balance, since all the elements lead your eye towards the center.

Scale- The size in terms of relationships with other objects and representations of the objects.

Proportion- the relationship between various elements and their proper relationships to one another in size and position.

Emphasis- in a sculpture, if all the elements poi

nt to a particular piece of the work, then that is emphasis on that particular element.

Contrast- distinct differences between various parts of a sculpture, for example it could be size or color.

Variety- variation in a work that can, but is not limited to, possibly consist of different sizes, shapes, textures, and colors.

Repetition- when a particular element of a sculpture is seen multiple times within a work.

Rhythm- when all elements of a sculpture come together and form a piece that has a flow or a "beat" to it.
