Elements and Principles

 My top 5 photos


Color: I saw these very colorful flowers at Trader Joes 


Shadow: As I was walking outside, I saw how the building casted a shadow on the sidewalk
 
 
Emphasis: At a basketball game the lights being shut off around the court drew                    your eye to the center                                                     


Line: I found this as the ceiling in a building on campus

Shape: I saw this clock as I was doing homework that's a perfect circle

                                                                  

An extension activity would be to create a matching card game. Each card includes a definition of an element or principle, and students must match it with two different pictures that show the same idea in artwork. Students look closely at the images to decide which ones best represent the definition on the card. This game helps reinforce their understanding of the elements and principles while giving them more practice identifying them in different visual examples.

Hidden Safari

For this art project, we started by learning about safaris and the kinds of animals you might see, like elephants, giraffes, lions, and rhinos. We also talked about warm and cool colors.

Drawing this way helps you focus more on the shapes and outlines instead of worrying about every little detail of the object. Before starting our final piece, we also made red glasses, which would later help us see the hidden image in our artwork by blocking out the warm colors. For my project, I chose to draw a monkey. I drew it upside down using a cool color, which helped keep it hidden later on. After finishing the drawing, I used warm-colored crayons to add patterns over the entire page. I used the different warm colors and different patterns to hide the monkey. When looking at the artwork normally, you mostly see the bright patterns. However, when y...

Introduction Footprint

An introduction project where we traced our foot on colored paper. The footprint had to include three different mediums, our name, and items that represent us. I added my school, hobbies, favorite foods, and family, which gave others a little insight into who I am and what I enjoy.   After completing the footprint project, students will post their footprints on a bulletin board to create a “class path.” This display shows how each student is unique while still being part of the same classroom community. It helps students learn about one another and feel connected to the class.
