Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, and Radial Balance

 This Chinese mask shows examples of symmetrical balance. You can see this balance in shapes, and implied shapes. Symmetrical balance can also be seen in the colors used on this mask.

 "Starry Night" by Van Gogh displays asymmetrical balance. This can be seen in the sky and also in the small town or village depicted in the painting. All stars in the sky are in different places, with no mirror effect. The same can be said with the small town, no mirrored houses or buildings, so no symmetrical balance.

This painting: "The Last Supper" originally by Leonardo DiVinci displays radial balance. All of the men in the painting go away from or radiate from the man in the middle, (who I won't name to remain politically correct). This is a different way to show radial balance, and most are in circular shape, with different circular and triangular shapes coming from the middle, but with all the men surrounding the man in the middle this does in fact create radial balance
