Elements of Sculpture
LineUsed to Lead the viewers eye around the sculpture. The edge or outline of a form. The line created when planes meet.

Principles of Design in Sculpture
Rhythm/Repetition- Duplication of Form, Alternating forms, Sequential forms( changing size, changing distance between forms)
Symmetrical Balance- Stable- Can be a mirror image horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Asymmetrical Balance- Elements are unevenly placed
