Balance & Unity

Balance

Balance (some equal distribution of visual weight) is a universal aim of any composition. The vast majority of image we look at have been consciously balanced by the artist. However, this does not mean that there is no place for purposeful imbalance.

When dealing with pictorial balance, most of the time, this refers to horizontal balance, the right and left side of the image.

The simplest type of balance- to create and recognize- is symmetrical balance (one side mirrors the other). With symmetrical balance shapes are repeated in the same positions on either side of a central vertical axis.

Georgia O’Keeffe

Symmetrical balance (always contains an apparent symmetry) This symmetry can be: predictable, formal or stable.

Conscious symmetrical repetition can be exactly what you are looking for to create prefect balance, but this predictability can sometimes create static images - we sometimes call this formal balance. This most notably happens in architectural balance. Consider how this might re-enforce the function.

Frank Stella, Gran Cairo, synthetic polymer on canvas, 7'½" square, 1962 Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

Morris Louis

Asymmetrical Balance Balance is achieved with dissimilar objects that have equal visual weight or equal eye attraction. Similar visual noise/weight.

Visual balance is maintained as both sides of the composition provide a visual emphasis. Often asymmetrical balance feels more casual and less predictable - we sometimes call this informal balance.

Katsushika Hokusai, South Wind and Clearing Weather, Colore woodcut, 10 x 15" c. 1820-1830. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Vincent van Gogh

Asymmetrical Balance by Shape A shape can potentially counter balance a large shape.

Francisco Goya, The Parasol, cartoon for tapestry, Oil on canvas, 3'5" x 4'11", 1777. Prado Museum, Madrid, Space

Asymmetrical Balance by Texture Any visual (or photographic) texture with a variegated dark and light pattern holds more interest for the eye than does a smooth, unrelieved surface.

Jan Vermeer, Woman with a Lute, oil on canvas, 201/4" x 361/2", 1663-64. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Asymmetrical Balance by Position Balance by position often lends an unusual unexpected quality to the composition. The effect seems casual and unplanned but also can, at first glance, seem to be imbalanced drawing the viewers eye in for a closer look.

Edgar Degas, Dancers practicing at the bar, oil on canvas, 293/4" x 32", 1877. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Balance by Eye Direction The last element for achieving asymmetrical balance. Eye direction is carefully plotted, not only for balance but also for general compositional unity. When larger images or shapes direct the eye to a smaller shape or image forcing the smaller image or shape to function as a focal point.

Pierre Fix-Masseau, Exactitude, Gouache, 393/8" x 421/2", after a poster of 1929, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Radial Balance Here all the elements radiate in a circle out from a common point. The sun with its emanating rays or flowers are familiar symbols that expresses the basic idea. The major compositional advantage in radial balance is the immediate and obvious creation of a focal point.

Damien Hirst

Andy Goldsworthy

Allover Pattern Works that exhibit an equal emphasis over the whole format - the same weight or eye attraction literally everywhere. Generally a work that is uniform throughout. It’s official name is Crystallographic Balance but we will refer to it in class as Allover Pattern.

Jasper Johns, Numbers in color, Encaustic and newspaper on canvas, 5'61/2" x 4'11/8", 1959. Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York

Jackson Pollock, Lavender Mist, oil on canvas, oil, enamel, and aluminum on canvas, 7'3" x 9'10" 1950. National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

Damien Hirst

Eva Hesse

*What we see is that many compositions end up employing serval balance techniques simultaneously - these principles frequently overlap and are used together.*

Robert Mangold:

http://www.pbs.org/art21/watch-now/segment-robert-mangold-in-balance

Unity Unity implies that a congruity or agreement exists among the elements of a design; they look as though they belong together, as though some visual connection beyond mere chance has caused them together. This is also called harmony. To successfully have unity, you must see the whole pattern before you see the individual elements. What is the total pattern?

Rene Magritte

Proximity An easy way to gain unity in a composition is to make separate element look as if they below together, proximity is the easiest way to accomplish this. Group elements together rather than leaving them isolated. This makes the work seem intentional.

Paul Wonner, Dutch still life with Stuffed Birds and Chocolate, acrylic on canvas, 6 x 4’, 1981.

Michael Jones McKean

Unity through Repetition The most widely used device for achieving unity is repetition. The elements that repeat can be almost anything, a color, shape, texture, a direction or angle.

Sara Cwynar

Andy Warhol, Sixteen Jackies, acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas, 20 x 16" each canvas, 1964.

Andy Warhol

Continuation Another way to achieve unity is through continuation which is a more subtle device than proximity or repetition. Continuation means that something continues – usually a line, an edge or a direction from one form to another. The viewers eye is carried smoothly from one to the next.

Edgar Degas, The tub, Pastel, 231/2"x 321/2", 1886. Loure, Paris

Unity with Variety There are ways of creating Unity without falling into the trap of a perfectly symmetrical image. The goal is to obtain unity in an image but allow the image to branch out into variations that enliven the image.

How does a checker board pattern feel compared to the below?

Piet Mondrian, Composition with Red, yellow and Blue, oil on canvas, 25 7/8" x 27 ¼", 1937-42. Tate Gallery, London.

Wassily Kandinsky, Several Circles, No.323, oil on canvas, 4'71/8" square, 1926. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, new York

Gerhard Richter

Balance & Unity Project Requirements and Restrictions

Physical works must be 11x14 inches, the size of the bristol paper (2 collages each 11x14″: One dealing with balance and one dealing with unity)

Collages must utilize images altered in photoshop using crop tool, selection tool, adjustments: hue/saturation, light/value, etc. Print (in color or black & white) and be collaged into the final works. You may also incorporate found images from magazines, newspapers, fabric, drawing, line, etc into your final collage. *Take your Photoshop image size into consideration when printing.

You must use a 50/50 balance of digitally altered images to found images.

Fill the entire page of your collage. No white of the paper should be showing

Glue only (be neat), no tape

Must be presentation ready

Also must be posted to blog

Must have a titles

Must be accompanied by explanation on blog

Student Examples:

REBLOGGING UNITY PROJECTS:

Browse through your classmate’s blogs (blog links are found on our class tumblr under Student tumblrs - you should already be following one another). Reblog 1 of your classmates Unity projects onto your blog and discuss the effectiveness of this 2D element. Make sure it is a 250 words minimum post about your classmate's project. Things to consider: Is it successful? Can you tell the work is about the idea of Unity? Where and how could the work be stronger? etc.

Black Butte Ranch, Sisters Oregon

Lakeside at Black Butte Ranch in Sisters

Apr 26, 2022

Architects: Hacker

Location: Sisters, Oregon, USA

Lakeside at Black Butte Ranch

Black Butte Ranch – an iconic resort community located near Sisters, Oregon – sits at the gateway to Oregon’s high desert. First planned in the early 1970s, the Ranch is a vacation destination for many, and a year-round home for some. The new 15,000-square-foot “Lakeside” replaces the well-worn main pool facility and revives the “heart” of the Ranch.

The two buildings house a Bistro with indoor and outdoor seating, an outdoor pool and hot tub, locker rooms, a fitness room, an activity center for kids and teenagers, and an outdoor play area for kids. The design set out to do three things: evolve the legacy of Pacific Northwest regional modernism at the Ranch, intensify the connection to the landscape, and enhance the user experience.

The magnificent site sits between the original modernist Ranch buildings from the early 1970s: the award-winning Country House Condominiums and the Lodge. Inspired by the barn-like simplicity of the Country House Condominiums and the abstracted landform roof lines of the Lodge, the design evolves the building tradition to become more profoundly connected to the surrounding landscape

The site design continues the classic Black Butte Ranch arrival sequence: sweeping movement traveling through the site with unfolding views of the Cascade Mountains. The new buildings are arranged along an arcing pathway with each new building having its entry on this path. Openings, breezeways, and overhangs become apertures for distilling the volcanic landscape into distinct moments, unfolding to weave the horizon of the Three Sisters and Mt. Washington into the spaces.

By creating a variety of spaces at the boundary between inside and outside, the design offers varied levels of connection to the landscape as well as opportunities for both solitude and community. The Bistro has indoor and outdoor dining and fireplaces located for cozy winter mornings as well as summer evenings. Deep overhangs provide shade in summer and warming in winter, while reducing glare to the interior from the intense high desert sun. The activity center gives kids (and parents) a place to be kids with an unfinished interior that can take the wear and tear of messy art projects and even water balloon fights.

Sideshow is thrilled to present The Joker Statue, the next twisted face in the Gotham City Nightmare collection, which dares to ask, what would the familiar faces of Gotham become when viewed through eyes filled with fear?

“We took the insanity of The Joker and made his entire makeup a tableaux of bas-relief Easter eggs of his entire existence,” Creative Director Tom Gilliland explained.

The Joker Statue measures 20” tall, emerging from a chemical vat filled with venomous green acid. Beneath copper-colored pipes, the architecture for Gotham City can be seen laying the groundwork for the rise of this nightmarish Clown Prince of Crime.

“All it takes is one bad day” to make The Joker Statue your most frightening nightmare yet! This intricate statue is bursting with brilliant details revealing just what makes The Joker who he is, sculpted in polystone with vinyl and PVC elements. From Ace Chemicals to the famed Arkham Asylum as his backbone, The Joker Statue will keep you captivated by the horror as you search for references to the some of the villain’s most infamous moments.

“We wanted a very organic collage of all the elements of The Joker’s life and his character intermeshed into his body,” Sculptor Paul Komoda added.

Spot Harley Quinn and Red Hood, a school of Joker Fish and freakish faces, and homages to artists like Jim Lee, Frank Miller, Dave McKean, and more all wrapped up in this warped vision of the Clown Prince of Crime. Can you find all the hidden secrets? Lean in closer, but beware The Joker as he offers you a gag flower- or else the joke may be on you!

The Exclusive edition of The Joker comes with a swap-out portrait revealing another face of his nightmarish insanity, with a closed mouth and curled green hair. The Exclusive edition also includes a small pedestal for displaying the alternate portrait, a jack-in-the-box bubbling over with noxious chemicals.

Pair The Joker Statue with the Batman Statue from Gotham City Nightmare to capture the epic struggle of these two legendary foes like never before!

Have the last laugh and add The Joker Statue from Gotham City Nightmare to your collection today.

Pre-orders for The Joker Statue begin on Thursday, April 19th between 12pm-3pm PST. The Exclusive edition will be priced at $535.00 and the Collector edition will be priced at $520.00.

The design champions spotlighted here—from Louise Fili, Sagmeister, Mucca Design, Jessica Hische and Pentagram to MailChimp, Facebook and students from Tyler School of Art—were all recognized for achieving excellence in their promotion and marketing design.

These are the promo design champions of years past. Become one of today’s design champions. Enter your best promo work—whether it’s an invitation you designed for a friend’s wedding, a client-commissioned poster or a website promoting your business—by the deadline of April 10.

Northeast Mid Century Residence, Portland Oregon

Constructed in the 1960s, Northeast Mid Century Home is unique for the Portland area and feels decidedly more Palm Springs than PNW. The home largely avoided any detrimental renovations over the years and proved to be a time capsule with many original details intact, including the kitchen and bathrooms.

This was beneficial for several reasons; it allowed for clear design direction for any changes and provided a clear design reference for the renovation. It was decided early on in the planning phase to honor the history and original architecture of this home and treat it primarily as a restoration project.

This home underwent a variety of updates, including restoration of the exterior, renovation of every interior space and a new landscape scheme. In the kitchen, cluttered soffits were removed and a larger opening to the dining room was introduced.

The layout of the kitchen was reworked using the existing square footage allowing the space to function more generously without removing any walls. In the bathrooms, original casework was restored and showers and sink areas were refreshed with new tile, plumbing and surfaces.

Original hardwood floors were repaired and refinished throughout, All spaces received new paint and original wood details, including trim and woodwork, were carefully restored.
