    Organization in art refers to the arrangement of elements into a harmonious whole. An organized work must make sense and be interesting. The artist determines the focal points and arranges elements with consideration for factors like balance and unity. There are various techniques for achieving unity, such as balanced compositional arrangement. Elements like color, shape, space, texture, line and form are building blocks used by artists. Principles of design like rhythm, emphasis, balance, and unity guide artists in combining elements to achieve beauty.

    Lesson 7: Organization in the Arts


    Organization refers to the “order” in a work of art. It refers to the ways elements are
    arranged, combined, and configured to make a whole.
    Any organization or configuration must make sense and must be interesting.
    The arrangement of parts, the overall design, or plan of a work must make sense.
    Whatever the size or the medium, it should be an orderly arrangement of parts which reflects a
    plan. A plan is the “skeleton” of the work of art. It is essential because it holds the work
    together, but it is not yet interesting as such.
    The artist determines what the center of interest of the artwork will be and composes the
    elements accordingly. The gaze of the viewer will then tend to linger over these points of
    interest, elements are arranged with consideration of several factors into a harmonious whole
    which works together to produce the desired statement –a phenomenon commonly referred to as
    unity.
    There are numerous approaches or “organizational techniques” to achieving a sense of
    unity within an artwork, depending on the goals of the artist. For example, a work of art is said to
    be aesthetically pleasing to the eye if the elements within the work are arranged in a balanced
    compositional way.
    In the visual arts, organization is governed by different principles of the art design that
    guide the artist in making the art become more beautiful and interesting to the observer. Through
    the combination of lines, colors, and forms, an artist can give the observer new, varied, and
    satisfying experience.
    Elements of Art
    The elements of art are the building blocks used to create a work of art. Students who can
    identify the elements and evaluate their role in the composition of a work of art will be able to
    understand an artist’s choices. They will be quipped to address whether a work of art is
    successful and why. Here are some of the fundamental elements of art that are used by an artists
    working in various media: distance, space, color, perspective, line, shape, form and texture.

     Color- a phenomenon of light (such as red, brown, pink, or gray) or visual perception
    that enables one to differentiate otherwise identical objects
     Shape- a two-dimensional area confined by an actual line or implied line
     Space- refers to the area within, around, above or below an object or objects
     Texture- refers to the surface quality in a work of art
     Line- the path of a dot, point etc. through space and that is always has more length than
    thickness
     Form- the shape, visual appearance, or configuration of an object

    Principles of Design
    The design is the overall organizational visual structure of the formal elements in a work
    of art. The principles of art design are rules or guides to help one put these elements together to
    achieve beauty. These principles include rhythm, emphasis, unity, balance, proportion,
    movement, pattern, and contrast.

     Composition- The organization of visual elements in two-dimensional art.


     Rhythm- The design principle that is based on repetition.
     Balance- The principle of art which deals with the visual weight of objects and forms in
    an artwork.
     Unity- The principle of art that an artist may use in order to bring a sense of wholeness or
    completeness to his work.
     Variety- A principle of art in which many differences among the elements are used to
    create added interest in the work.
