The Elements of Art- 4 inch panels
Your mission:
Create an 4"x4" symbol for each Element of Art
Using pencil and sketch paper-
Think about how each Element of Art could be represented as a symbol. What could you show to tell your audience you were representing that element?
Draw 3 thumbnail sketches for each Element
Line, Space, Color, Value, Shape, Form, Texture
remember the Creative process!!! Each thumbnail should be different, this is your time to really explore your ideas and questions. Ask me, ask your neighbor...
Begin your creation
For each Element you will be creating one large symbol using the 4"x4" paper provided. By hand, like with your hands, or whatever.
- Lightly sketch your idea on the paper, use the whole square, your design should incorporate the shape of the paper, it MUST NOT simply be in the middle, it is the square, it uses the square.
- Now that it is larger, how has it changed? Does it need more detail, less? There should be some revisions here from your basic sketches you did in the beginning. SHOW ME THOSE REVISIONS!
Finish your creation
- Each 4"x4" square for each Element should be completed cleanly. What do I mean? It is no longer a sketch, this is your final product, there should be no eraser marks, no glue marks, nothing that shows us anything but your final piece.
Share/Reflect our creations
As a class we will post all of our creations one element at a time, and discuss how each designer chose to communicate that element.

The Elements of Art
Space: Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of an image. Space can refer to positive space (a shape, such as an apple) or negative space (the absence of an apple shape). It can also refer to elements in the foreground, mid or background of an image. Positive space Negative space Line: Line is the basic element and refers to the continuous movement of a point along a surface, such as a pencil or brush. Line can also be created by the edges of other shapes. Lines can vary in length, thickness and direction. Color: Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. Color draws the eyes attention to certain areas and can invoke mood and emotion. This is a color wheel. Shape: Shapes are what give objects their definition. Shapes are flat. Think of the silhouette. Shapes can be organic (curved, soft, random) or geometric (angular, sharp, organized, complex). Organic vs. Geometric Form: Form is when a shape has either real or perceived three dimensionality(3D). An example being a square(shape) or a cube(form.) Texture: Texture is perceived surface quality. In art two types of texture exist, tactile and implied. Tactile texture is the way a surface actually feels, such as sandpaper or tree bark. Implied texture is the way the surface of an object “looks” like it feels. This is created with different pencil and brush techniques. Value: the relationship between light and dark. It can also be referred to as tone or shading. The value of an object helps give it form and depth. |
