Balance in Art

This is an example of the principle, balance. I believe this is a strong example because it shows horizontal symmetry. If you were to draw a line from top to bottom in the middle, it would fold over like a mirror image. Having a strong color like red draws the attention to the circles evenly placed on both sides of the yellow line. I retrieved this photo from http://art-fundamentals.blogspot.com/ where it is used as an example of "Symmetrical Balance".
