The Clown In The Street

The three principles of design represented in the wood cut print O Palhaco na Rua, The Clown in the Street by Jose Francisco Borges are unity and variety, symmetrical and emphasis and subordination. Similar shape of eyes, eyebrows and heads the artist used show unity, but the use of different colors show variety. Also by using different colors and the size of the clown we can see that the clown is the emphasis of this piece of art. The clown is close to being symmetrical except for the colors used for his clothes and hair and the size of his ears.
