Michelangelo, Pieta, 1501

Michelangelo altered the human proportions of Mary's figure. He made the heads of the two figures the same but greatly enlarged Mary's body in relation to to that of Christ, disguising her immensity with deep folds of drapery. This makes it possible for her seated figure to seem to be able to support a fully grown man.

This is an image of the etching, titled Taormaquia, by Francisco Goya This is a diagram that represents a type of balance Francisco Goya, Taormaquia (1816) Visual Balance diagram
In the text box below, clearly state the type of balance represented in the two images above. Then, briefly explain what that means.
Both of these images are examples of asymmetrical balance. With asymmetrical balance, the left and right sides of the composition are not identical, or the same. Although the two sides are not the same, the compositions feel balanced because the artist has applied principles of visual weight. For example, in the diagram at the right, the three small blue forms on the left balance the large blue form on the right. And with the etching by Goya, the complex mass of figures on the right edge of the print balance the large open space on the left.

This is an image of a painting created by Edward Hopper, titled Early Sunday Morning (1930)
Edward Hopper, Early Sunday Morning, Whitney Museum of American Art (1930)
The image above is a good example of the use of repetition to unify a painting.
In the text box below, state (in 50 words or less) how this artist avoided the boredom of too much sameness in his composition? Please be clear and concise.
In his painting Early Sunday Morning, Hopper avoided the boredom of too much sameness in his composition by introducing variety into the composition. For example, although the windows repeat, each one is slightly different. The same is true for other parts of the composition, such as the different sizes and colors found in the row of doors and windows on the first floor of the building.
