Vocabulary:

Balance-  A Principle of Design that involves distributing visual weight evenly throughout the work of art; there are several different types of balance including symmetry, asymmetry, formal, and informal.

Symmetry- A form of balance that creates a mirror image between one side of the work of art and the other; its the same on both sides

Harmony/Unity- A Principle of Design that involves having the arrangement of the elements give the viewer a feeling that all parts of the work of art create a coherent whole; it might be a repeated element that we see throughout the entire work of art that makes it look as if it all goes together

Tooling- A process where you use tools to press into the metal to create height on the opposite side.  Various tools and techniques can be used.
