Variety in art can be simply defined as anything that add additional interest to a design rather than the surface or subject of the art. This is useful in art making because once you get past what you want to represent in your art, you can extend it to create variety, add interest, and make a piece that really speaks to an audience. I think this knowledge of variety can apply to other forms of art when you add the use of balance, emphasis, scale, and rhythm. In drawing, it’s important to represent something realistically (if that’s your goal) but also add a form of style which can also create variety. In graphic design, it’s crucial to have variety in your work so it stands out from basic images that can be glanced over and not even considered as art. This is definitely something that should be known for any artist or graphic designer for their work to develop their own style and get recognition and succeed.
