Answer:
D. Symmetrical balance occurs when the weight of the artwork's composition is evenly distributed; asymmetrical balance happens when the visual weight in the artwork is not evenly distributed.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The rest of the options (minus the last option) mix up the definitions of symmetrical and asymmetrical balance.
Option A states that symmetrical balance happens when the visual weight in the artwork is <em>not</em> evenly distributed. This outlines <em>asymmetrical balance</em>, not symmetrical balance.
For Option B, <em>symmetrical balance </em>happens when identical elements are balanced, not asymmetrical balance.
Option C states that symmetrical balance happens when everything is grouped to one side of an artwork and that asymmetrical balance happens when two sides of an artwork are identical in colour and size. These definitions are mixed up.
Option D is the only answer that states the definitions correctly; symmetrical balance occurs when weight is evenly distributed on an artwork, and the opposite goes for asymmetrical balance.
I hope this helps!
The term that best completes the blank is TOP CAT. "Top Cat, the indisputable leader of the gang." This is actually from a song lyrics entitled "Top Cat" which is by <span><span><span>Joseph Barbera & </span><span>William Hanna. This is a theme song of the cartoon "Top Cat". Hope this answers your question. </span></span></span>
