Balance - a Principle of Design which refers to how the Elements of Art (lines, shapes, colors, textures) are arranged in a piece of artwork. Balance means that the visual weight of the artwork is evenly arranged.
- Symmetry or Formal Balance - is a type of balance in which the artwork is exactly the same on both sides of the piece, but each half is reversed or a mirror image. Artwork that is symmetrical is divided in half by an imaginary line called symmetry. Butterflies, hearts, and your face are symmetrical.
