Use slides 5-11 to explain the properties of  the principles.

Now that you already have an idea of the principles of design, apply it on your paper quilling project .

Let's get started.

Step 1: Plan your design by sketching or drawing it on a bond paper.

             You can browse at www.pinterest.com for you to have some additional idea.

Step 2: After planning, prepare all your materials and start doing your project

Step 3:  Present your project to the class at the end of the week! Here's how:

•    Stand tall and with confidence.
•    Speak loudly so everyone can hear you and speak clearly so everyone understands.
•    Explain how you apply the principles of design on your project.
•    Present your project like the expert that you are!

This is how your work will be evaluated.

       The principles of design are guidelines, observed in compelling artwork over the centuries and categorized by educators of art, to help artists solve artistic problems.

        With the use of WebQuest it will make the principles easily remembered by students, purposefully applied to original student artwork, and produce an enduring understanding of the concepts. The goal is not to lay down fundamental knowledge for knowledge sake but to give young students, whether they naturally grasp the concepts or not, the compositional tools that will enhance their ability to communicate in the visual arts.

       This is an excellent way for students to learn and have fun while doing it. It is also a great way for me, as a teacher, to play the role of supervisor without having to do it while teaching. The students do much of the work, if it is done properly and it is a great experience for the entire class. The art curriculum based on the principles of design presented allows the art educator to emphasize each principle through art production. The student will understand, through the practical application of that principle, its use and advantage in creating original artwork.

       The goal of this WebQuest is to ground students in knowledge about design so they may effectively communicate their artistic visions.
