Introduction

ELEMENTS OF ART 

Can you define, identify, and apply the elements of art?????? 

THIS IS A GRADED ASSIGNMENT EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE!

Task

There will be 4 tasks to complete the first 3 together and the 4th solo, You will partner off into groups of two (in the situation of an odd number there will be one group of three) and within these tasks.....

You will need to be able to define and recognize each of the Elements of Art in everyday life and in famous art pieces.  You will also be tested on your understanding of the Art Element by drawing an example of each element.

*Warning*

Because the Elements of Art can be found in combination with each other in artwork, you are to use your own discretion when deciding which examples to use. When studying the works of art, look for the Element of Art that seems to be most dominate in the artwork. Do the best you can and feel free to ask other groups if you are unsure. 

Process

ASSIGNMENT 1:

You will need to define each of the Elements of Art.

  • Divide the 7 elements between your group members. 

  • You will be responsible to find the definition of each element of art and share the information within your group. 

  • The more information you have and share, the better the group will do at the second assignment.

  • Share the definitions and any notes you have found on each element within your group and write them on the Elements of Art Definitions handouts.

  • Use the teacher-provided handouts to write your definitions and notes on.
