Directional Movement- The flow in the piece
Proportion/Scale-Proportion refers to the relationship of parts of a body to one another and to the body as a whole, whereas scale is the relationship of parts of an image to the image as a whole.
Balance-the ways in which the elements (lines, shapes, colors, textures, etc.) of a piece are arranged. 

Unity-all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole.
Harmony- pulls the pieces of a visual image together. 
Contrast-the arrangement of opposite elements (light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.) in a piece so as to create visual interest, excitement and drama
