I have paid tribute to some other very influential artist who were very good and had the right balance and harmony, but i have chosen MIRIAM SCHAPIRO as my reference artist to study and analyse her elements and principles of design.
She was born in Ontario, Canada in 1923, found early success in the early 1970's as a print/ painter but did not become a full professional artist until 1955. referred to as one of the female pioneer artist who also coined the term "femmage" which stands for the female laborer's hand sewn works like embroidery, cross stitching just to mention but a few.

Studying the elements and principle of her design you will find her extremely fascinating, as whe has the perfect harmony and balance on her works, her choice and blend of colours and materials is mind blowing. Like the artwork below "the poet" brought out her inner self and the motif behind her work as she stated "I felt that by making a large canvas magnificent in color, design, and proportion, filling it with fabrics and quilt blocks, I could raise a housewife's lowered consciousness."
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
Pleasure Dome By, Miriam Schapiro.
ELEMENTS:
COLOUR: The fusion and blend of various colours gives the artwork a generally appealing view which binds fierceness and warmth with the combination of mostly primary colours.
VALUE: The Mixing of various warm and cool colours gives it a mixed punch feeling.
DIRECTION: The artwork is partitioned by imaginary lines which give it a perfect balance and position.
PRINCIPLE:
HARMONY: The artworks combination of colours and pattern gives it a satisfactory resolution.
UNITY: The work potrays unity in colours and material as she stands beside with a matching clothing.
REPETITION: There is a lot of repetition of colours and pattern which is uniformly done and is pleasurable.
