These principles incorporate balance, distinction, emphasis, motion, pattern, tempo, and unity. Balance refers to the even allocation of elements in an artwork, creating a sense of tranquility and calmness.

Artists can use a limited color palette, repeating shapes or patterns, or create a balance between positive and negative space to create a sense of harmony in the composition. For example, the use of similar colors, which are colors that are bordering each other on the color wheel, can create a feeling of consensus in a painting. Similarly, the use of repeating forms or patterns can create a sense of tempo and unity in a print.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1065906\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art.jpg\" alt=\"Harmony and Unity in Art\" width=\"848\" height=\"951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art.jpg 848w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-785x880.jpg 785w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-768x861.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-27x30.jpg 27w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-67x75.jpg 67w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-98x110.jpg 98w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-143x160.jpg 143w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-446x500.jpg 446w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-45x50.jpg 45w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-89x100.jpg 89w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-178x200.jpg 178w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-610x684.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-and-Unity-in-Art-150x168.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The Milkmaid<\/em> by Johannes Vermeer (c. 1660);\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Johannes_Vermeer_-_Het_melkmeisje_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Johannes Vermeer<\/a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>In 3D art such as sculptures and performance art, harmony can be achieved through the careful arrangement of different elements.

In any composition, the use of lines and shapes can create a feeling of motion and stability. One example of this type of harmony can be seen in Vincent van Gogh&#8217;s (1853-1890) painting <em>Starry Night <\/em>(1889). The swirling lines and curves of the stars and the cypress tree create a sense of movement and flow, while the rectangular shapes of the houses and the town in the background provide a sense of stability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1065915\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh.jpg\" alt=\"Harmony in the Art of Van Gogh\" width=\"848\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh.jpg 848w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-768x613.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-30x24.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-75x60.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-110x88.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-160x128.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-500x399.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-50x40.jpg 50w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-100x80.jpg 100w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-200x160.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-610x487.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Harmony-in-the-Art-of-Van-Gogh-150x120.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The Starry Night<\/em> by Vincent van Gogh (1889);\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:VanGogh-starry_night_ballance1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vincent van Gogh<\/a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Harmony in Painting Through Size: <em>Les Demoiselles d&#8217;Avignon <\/em>(1907) by Pablo Picasso<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Artist<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">Pablo Picasso (1881 &#8211; 1973)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">1907<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">Oil on canvas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Dimensions (cm)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">243.9 \u00d7 233.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Style<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">Proto-Cubism<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">The Museum of Modern Art, New York City, United States<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The second aspect of harmony is size.
