. Reflect on the principle of balance. Why do you think an artist might choose to use asymmetrical balance? to create a sense of
tension to give equal attention to all objects in the piece to create a sense of perfect harmony to give every object an identical match on the opposite side of the piece
When an artist uses symmetrical balance in a work, he is putting a tone and tension, of disharmony, discomfort and imbalance in the work presented. This is because the asymmetric balance imposes, in fact, an imbalance of the image. This is because the two sides of the image are different from each other and each element has a negative weight that cannot be found on the other side.
