ARCH101 BASIC DESIGN / Exercise 6a





THE DESIGN CONCEPT OF HIERARCHY
Hierarchy exists when an element appears more important in comparison to other things. An element appears more hierarchical if it is larger than other elements. An element can also appear more hierarchical if it is different than other elements. Placement is also important to establish an hierarchical order. In this work of art there is a hierarchical order. The most important element is located in the center of the painting. The artist wants to emphasize the person sitting on a throne in the middle of the scene. The artist drew her bigger than other people and painted her dress in black to make her grab our attention. As you see, the other people in the scene are almost in the same size, which makes the woman in black is the only power. Hierarchy is a way of grabbing attention and guide people where to look at. In this example, except the woman in black, there are two size of people. Some of them are in the front side of the painting, and others are at the back. This makes us look at the people who are nearer  to us secondly, and the people at the back thirdly. Actually, this is the order of importance.
