Senior 2 Fine Art Studio Technology: Principles of Art and Design

These Trinity College Nabbingo notes introduce Senior 2 learners to the principles of art and design and explain how they guide the arrangement of artistic elements. The document distinguishes principles from elements such as line, shape, colour, texture, tone, form and space. It focuses on symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial balance, describing their visual effects and giving examples from human figures and circular patterns. It also distinguishes symmetrical and asymmetrical forms of radial balance. Closing questions ask learners to compare key concepts and explain the importance of design principles when creating artwork.
