Balance

The balance of design occurs when the elements of design are arranged symmetrically to create the impression of equality in weight or importance.

Even though this is just a quick sketch of one of the churches we saw in Florence, I really just wanted to capture the design and style that was put into it. This church was actually very different from any other church we've seen. It was actually colorful. I'm aware it says pattern below the picture because I was going to use it for that blog entry, but I later decided it would be a good representation of balance as well because if you were to cut it in half right down the middle it was be perfectly symmetrical. One of my favorites we saw.
