Balance in Art
Tuesday, April 5
1:00 - 4:30pm
Ages 11-15
Taught by Marvin Bolthouse
Balance in Art is one of the basic principles of design. Balance refers to how the elements of art relate to each other within a composition. That is, ensuring that one side of the composition does not seem heavier than the other. Students will learn to define balance in art, identify four different types of balance, and create a work of art that achieves balance. There will be a break halfway through class - students are encouraged to bring a snack!
