Balance, Shape, and Motion

Geometric Shape: A shape with straight sides and points

Organic Shape: A shape with curved sides and no points

Balance: The sense that both sides of a picture are weighted the same

Asymmetrical Balance: Not symmetrical, or balance where both sides of a picture are different.

Symmetrical Balance: A picture that is the same on both sides when flipped across a line.  Your face is symmetrical, so are the wings of a butterfly

Radial Balance: A picture you can rotation 3 or more times and it still looks the same

Movement: The sense of motion a picture has.  It can either be real motion or implied motion.
