Question

what is asymmetry?
a. a sense of balance achieved by placing objects or forms that are different on either side of a central line.
b. the relationship between parts of a whole and their relation to the whole.
c. the two halves divided by a central line are mirror images of one another.
d. the arrangement of the elements so that no one part overpowers or seems heavier.
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Asymmetry in design (or general terms) involves balance with different elements on either side of a central line. This matches the concept of asymmetry.
• Option B: Describes proportion (relationship of parts to whole), not asymmetry.
• Option C: Describes symmetry (mirror - image halves), opposite of asymmetry.
• Option D: Describes balance (no part overpowers), which can be symmetric or asymmetric but is not the definition of asymmetry.

Answer:

A. A sense of balance achieved by placing objects or forms that are different on either side of a central line.
