EDU 717 - Elements and Principles of Art for the Classroom (3)

When a piece of art work is created, the ingredients are the elements of art: line, color, shape/form, texture, and value. How they are used makes up the principles of art: balance, emphasis, proportion, movement, rhythm, repetition and pattern, variety, and unity. In this class, students will gain a better understanding of the artworks of the great masters by analyzing how they handled the elements and principles of art. Through class critiques, they will create their own examples of lesson plans and artwork consciously using the elements and principles of art.
