Symmetric (Balanced) and Asymmetric (Unbalanced) Images

 

A common element of composition is related around SYMMETRY. If you are asking yourself what this is, simply look at this image:

 

The symmetric image of this tree is EVEN from both sides of the center line (a mirror image). This is a simple image, but if you are viewing advanced and artistic images in this manner, front and center in your image, then it can be pleasing to the viewers eye. Below is an example of an image that is the same both from side to side and from up and down

 

The asymmetrical image of this tree is uneven. Both sides are not the same. Once again, this is a simple image and it makes it clear to the viewer and it makes the image stand out. Any image that is not "EVEN" or is off-center, is considered ASYMMETICAL. Any image that follows the RULE OF THIRDS, as we discussed in Term One, is considered asymmetic, as it is not CENTERED.
