Why do you think artists rarely use symmetrical balance in their work?

Because it is, or can be when over-used, trite. Don't people tend to be more interesting the more unbalanced they are? Also, if there is too much symmetry, the eye (or ear, or mind) is not drawn anyplace in particular; everywhere you turn, you are at a place that you could think of as an artistic 'center of gravity'. I think the sense of balance and composition in any art should draw you in, and not just let you slip freely.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on which artist you are referring to. There are many artists from many different cultural backgrounds who use symmetry. There can be many reasons, but if you are looking for a general answer symmetry can be used to depict balance and harmony. It can be used to represent perfection.
Short answer; It's a composition used to depict harmony, balance and perfection.

Why do you think artists painted pictures that had no meaning?
I think all artists have a meaning for their art even if it only makes sense to them. They may have a strange way of expressing themselves. Art is supposed to be mysterious and interesting. When artists' work does not give a clear message, it makes it more fun to think of things that the art could mean.

What should be your primary concern when creating an arrangement with informal balance?
You would want to think about visual balance without using symmetry. An example might be placing a sofa on one side of a seating group, and a lounge chair or two opposite from it to achieve a balanced look in the room, without creating an exact duplicate on both sides. Or perhaps a shelf or fireplace mantel with one round vase on one end and two or three slim vertical candlesticks on the other. The look would be informally balanced, but not symmetrical.

What are non symmetrical shapes?
I dont really know. That is what I am trying to figure out !! I think non-symmetrical shapes are shapes where all sides are different lengths/sizes. For example, a square or rectangle would not be non-symmetrical. It would be symmetrial because not all of the sides are different lengths. Hope that kinda helps. If not, I'm sorry!!
