Principles of Design Research

Today you spent some time looking at a work of art.
In a post on your blog note what the work of art was that you looked at and who made it.
Then, answer the following question:
In what ways did the artist's use of The Principles of Design support the story or message of the work?

Maya and I looked at the work of art, Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Grant Wood. The artist used the Principles of Design to help guide the people looking at the photo through it. By using the path the artist told a story from start to finish without having to write anything. This way a very good way of helping people understand what he was trying to portray. Also, he used different sizes to make people notice the more important parts of the painting. This was helpful too because then the viewer would not focus on the small details like the trees. Instead they would be able to get the main points of the painting.
