Balance using 5 elements.

BALANCE

Balance is something which we have always heard in our daily lives and knowingly or unknowingly have also used or followed it. So what is balance?

Balance is putting equal weights or elements in a composition on either side to make it look alike or same or similar.

So in this blog I have tried to make 2 compositions using 5 different elements of design to show balance:









SYMMETRICAL BALANCE

This can be explained as placing equal elements or weights on both the sides of the composition to make it look similar, same and give the composition a proper and balanced look. So the below composition is to show symmetrical balance for which I used 5 elements of design which was a woman portrait of which I changed its hue and saturation in the photoshop to give more emphasis and also to make the composition look like a image and not different elements just placed together. Next I used lines, yellow flower in circular form, shapes like square and circle and grey colour also to give the yellow flowers and the woman portrait more emphasis. Placed all the elements using juxtapose to give a balanced composition.










ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE

It is obviously the opposite of symmetrical balance where there are unequal weights on the either sides but a balance is created by changing the shape, size, colour or space. I have used the same elements as before and again tried to balance the but this time it was asymmetrically. Used two small square on one side and a big one on the other in the same way I did it for the flower part. Used thinner and more number of lines on one side and thicker and less number on the other and the constant part was the grey colour and the woman portrait.

UPCLYCLING FROM MY WARDROBE.

  UPCYCLING FASHION: Upcycled fashion  takes the  clothes  that would otherwise be thrown away and reinvents them. The whole principle behind  upcycling clothing  is to take used garments and create new looks. As a result,  clothing  is given a new look, and new life, rather than adding to waste in a landfill.  The purpose  of  upcycling  is reducing waste and improving  the  efficiency of resource use. So here I tried to upcycle my one piece dress which I hardly wore a couple of times only and changed it  into a crop top and skirt and the final result was really interesting. It was a very simple process and using it I created something which I really liked it. Firstly I chopped off the dress into two half. So that the upper portion could be worn as a crop top and the lower portion as a skirt. Then in the first look I wore the crop top and the skirt and gave it a casual look for friends outing. Also paired it wit...

Harmony- Installation

HARMONY is the combination of separate but related parts in a way that uses their similarities to bring their unity to a painting, drawing or any other object. So, the assignment was to show harmony in at least three elements and do a installation project. I showed harmony in shapes with the bottles, harmony in colour with the help of battery lights and cellophane paper and harmony in texture with the threads wrapped around. I decided to make an installation inspired from "THUNDER AND LIGHTNING". Also my concept was to recycle and reuse the old products kept unused at my home. As a grown girl I still have a fear of thunder sounds and lightning effects, so I decided that why not make my own version of thunder and lightning which does not make us afraid but while watching it gives calm and peaceful mind. MATERIALS USED: PROCESS: I cut the bottles into halves and then wrapped them with the thread. Inserted small battery lights inside the bottles and hanged the bottles with the h...
