The 7 Elements of Art
Vocabulary:
Assignment:
In your sketchbook divide 4 pages in half (doesn’t matter how you divide it in half), on the first half create a title page for the elements of art with their definitions, think about it like a book cover (make it look good!) If you want to use full pages you can, but half pages are fine.
For the next 7 halves you will fill the page with a different visual representation of each of the element of arts. You may (and should) use more than one kind of medium (art material) to illustrate your knowledge of each element. You must creatively including the name of the element somewhere on the page. You may use magazine images, drawing, painting or other materials to fill the page and explore every possible use of that element!You can write notes about different concepts to explore within that element, draw examples of famous works of art that use that element and so on. Really show what you know.
Consider how you lead our eyes around the page and all you know about composition. Don’t just fill the page with random lines or shapes.

(I suggest you do not add 3D items for texture because it could make drawing difficult on later pages)
