Another weird chapter for me. Balance makes perfect sense when you see it visually, but when trying to describe things like asymmetrical balance, it is difficult to do so with words. The only thing I really got out of this chapter was approximate balance which was a term I was not familiar with before. Symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance were things I was already well aware of before reading this chapter. Balance-wise I liked The Zen Priest Choka by Nonomura Sotatsu on page 151. It made sense here that asymmetrical balance was created by using negative space. It's not so much my favorite piece, but looking at it makes it easier to understand asymmetrical balance.
Sorry, this blog is a little short, but the chapter and images were pretty self-explanatory.
