Lesson 18- Elements and Principles





For this assignment you will need to take photos of Elements and Principles of Design. You will want to make sure that the Elements and the Principles have a theme. Like above the themes for each could be different or they could have a similar style or color. As always make sure that you are using natural light.

Make this a fun project. Go to a coffee shop and see how many Elements you can find. I bet you can find all 7. Try a museum for the Principles. Who knows the Principles better than other artists.

And just in case you forgot what the Elements and Principles are:

The Elements-
Line
Shape
Form
Value
Color
Texture
Space

The Principles-
Balance
Contrast
Emphasis
Pattern
Movement
Unity
Rhythm

Students work from previous trimesters.
