Note to Pupils:
Principles Of Design:
- Balance: Making things look stable and not tilted, like balancing on a seesaw.
- Contrast: Mixing things that are different, such as big and small, light and dark, or rough and smooth, to make the design more interesting.
- Unity: All the parts of a design working together like a team, making the design look complete and organized.
Differences Between Music And Noise
- Organization: Noise is chaotic and unorganized, while music follows a structured arrangement.
- Pleasantness: Music is designed to be pleasant and enjoyable, while noise may be unpleasant.
- Rhythmic Pattern: Music has a recognizable rhythm, while noise lacks a consistent rhythmic pattern.
Evaluation:
- Name two principles of design discussed in class.
- How can you differentiate between music and noise?
