Informal Balance
Informal, or asymmetrical (ay-suh-mehtrih- kuhl), balance involves a balance of unlike objects or elements. A small shape painted bright red, for example, will have the same visual weight as a larger shape painted a duller hue.
Informal balance is often used to create interesting, true-to-life visual statements. Arranging objects or the elements of art informally can be very complicated. Yet, it can create strong visual interest when used skillfully.
Radial Balance
Radial balance occurs when elements of art or objects in an artwork are positioned around a central point.

Unit 9. Графіті
Ex. 1. Прочитайте та перекладіть текст:
The word 'graffito', the plural form is graffiti, is originally the Italian word for 'scratching'. It has now become the international word for the anonymous scribbling we all see on the walls and wooden fences, in the underground and in the public places.
Graffiti are as old as writing. In one way, they haven't changed much over centuries. Graffiti writers still scribble their own names. They still write about love and sex. But graffiti can also tell us about political and social conditions at a certain time.
Today there are more graffiti works than ever before. Why do we witness such an explosion? People always have an urge to express themselves and most people won't take the trouble to write letters to the editor of the newspaper or the like. Also in some countries writing on the wall is the only way left to show your feelings when you feel pushed around, frustrated, oppressed and powerless.
Is the simple reason for writing graffiti that the scribbler just wants to express himself? Or has it become too quick and easy with all the new spray paints and felt-tipped pens to produce graffiti? Certainly a lot of them are ugly, boring, aggressive and present a form of vandalism. But whatever the reason for them, the best ones are elaborate in design and are free entertainment — intelligent, witty and funny.
