Emphasis refers to the focal point of a work of art, where the viewer's eye tends to go.

In this picture,
the emphasis would be the boy's hands.
Balance is a sense of visual weight or stability. This picture is an example of symmetrical
balancebecause the elements are the same on both sides. The emphasis picture is not exactly the
same on both sides, yet it is still balanced, so it would be referred to as asymmetrical balance.
Radial Balance refers to the balancing of visual elements around a central point.
Harmony refers to the use of similar elements throughout a work of art to create an uncomplicated
look.
Variety refers to the differences that can be shown in a work of art. The collage above shows
avariety of color even though it uses similar geometric shapes. A collage is a picture that is made by
cutting and pasting paper onto another sheet of paper.
Movement adds excitment to a picture by showing action. The waterfall in the picture above, not only
shows action but directs the viewers eye across the page.
Rhythm is a type of movement used in creating art. The picture above portrays rhythm by repeating
similas shapes and hues of color.
Proportion refers to the relationship of the size of certain objects. It if weren't for the person standing
in the picture above it would be hard to tell the exact size of the big trunk ball in the picture.
Pattern is the repetition of lines, shapes, colors or forms in a work of art. The drawing above is a
pattern of lines and colors.

Kimchi Fries with Gochujang Mayo

Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen French fries (we used Cascadian Farm crinkle cut fries)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon gochujang Korean chile paste
1/2 cup kimchi, well drained and finely chopped
2 green onions, sliced

Directions
Bake the French fries according to package directions. (If you prefer really crispy fries,
bake for a few extra minutes.)
While the fries are baking, make the gochujang sauce by stirring together the mayonnaise and
gochujang chile paste. Once the fries are hot and crispy, theyre ready to load with toppings.
Place the fries in individual serving containers and top with a drizzle of gochujang mayo, a
spoonful of kimchi and a sprinkling of green onions. Grab a fork and dig in.

BAKED CHILI CHEESE FRIES WITH BACON AND RANCH

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
pinch salt
1 pound bag fingerling potatoes (or 2 medium russet potatoes)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon grill seasoning
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons chopped chives
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
homemade ranch dressing
Instructions
Mix together cornstarch, chili powders, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt. You can
add red pepper flakes and a pinch of cayenne if you want, but I didnt want to make
these too spicy in case the kids wanted to try them.
I did not have any regular potatoes, only fingerlings, so I gave them a half peel, and
cut them into wedges. Add them to a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil,
Worcestershire sauce, and grill seasoning.
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the potatoes.
Toss until the potatoes are completely coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper, and spray with cooking spray. Put the oven rack in the center of the oven,
and preheat to 425 degrees. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single

layer. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Give them a toss a few times during the cooking
time.
I transfered my potatoes to a cast iron skillet, but you can keep the fries on the
baking sheet if you want.
Cover the fries with cheese.
And bacon.
Put back in the oven until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
Send it over the top with a generous dollop of homemade ranch dressing.
