Balance
संतुलन
In Class 9 Art Education, the topic Balance introduces students to the way visual elements are arranged to create stability and harmony in an artwork. As part of the Principles of Art, students explore symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance, while considering the visual weight of shapes, colours, lines, textures, and empty spaces. They learn to observe balance in compositions and apply these ideas when planning drawings, designs, and other creative work.
