The two main balances in chapter 5 describe are symmetrical balance and asymmetrical balance. Symmetrical balance "the implied center of gravity is the vertical axis, an imaginary line drawn down the center of the composition."(pg.125) Asymmetrical balance "has two sides that do not match."(pg.129)

This picture is asymmetrical because you notice that the sofa is not balanced. You notice on one end of the sofa that is is more thin and there is not a back oppose to the other end with more material and the back gets higher the more the sofa goes down. It also has a curve in the back.

This picture is symmetrical due to the orchid is mirrors the composition. The balance shifts on one side from the other.

I choose this picture because of the models makeup.This picture is also known as photorealism.


There is symmetrical balance in this photo.

This is also an example of Dada. I like this picture because there is so much going on.
