Art principles

‘Form’ refers to the three-dimensional characteristics of an art object, including aspects such as length, width, height, and depth. Simply put, it’s a 2d drawing that appears as a 3d object.

The gestalt principles in design and art are a set of six principles which include closure, similarity, proximity, continuation, symmetry/order (prägnanz), and figure/ground. Others principles such as emergence, common region, focal point, invariance, and past experiences have been added more recently. When you instinctively find a design or piece of art good or aesthetically pleasing there are likely gestalt principles at play.

Harmony in art refers to the cohesive arrangement of different elements, such as color, balance, and proportion, to create a visually pleasing and unified composition. It involves balancing these elements in a way that creates a sense of order and aesthetic unity within the artwork.
