ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES OF ART.

Use the art elements and principles to communicate ideas and feelings. Analyze the elements and principles of design. Create original art using a variety of subject matter and imagery

Shapes are everywherere. As artists, we try to render those shapes into forms by adding value- the light and dark tones creating depth and shadows.

Shaded Forms

We see patterns all around us. Patterns are a shape or color scheme that repeats. Decorate each letter of your name with varying patterns and designs. Students are encouraged to use markers, colored pencils, and crayon to decorate your work.
