Art Elements Review Part 2

In Part One of the Art Elements Review, we worked on Line, Shape, Color and Form.  This post will talk about Part Two, which is Value, Space and Texture.

VALUE:  the kids illustrated a value scale with either crayon or pencil

SPACE: This was shown through overlap, perspective, positive/negative space, filling the page, etc.

TEXTURE: The kids used texture rubbing plates and crayons to show texture.

All of these element exercises were on small pieces of paper and we taped them into our sketchbooks.

Right after I finished teaching this, I saw this post by Monument Valley Regional Middle School, which turned out very cool.  I will have to try that next year!  See... they are in circles... they are a work of art!

Elements of Art Exercise-- Line Shape, Color and Form

My 5/6 classes just started reviewing the elements of art.  We watched a short video online about the elements and then we started a drawing exercise.

1.  Divide the paper into 4 sections.

2.  Start with line. Draw as many types of lines as you can think of.  Wavy, zigzag, dotted, dashed, straight, bumpy, etc.

 

2.  Shapes-- Draw geometric shapes and organic shapes.

3.   Now, in another section, draw forms.

 

4.  In the last section,  show colors.  We chose to do the primary and secondary colors, warm and cool colors.  

In the next class, we will learn about SPACE, TEXTURE and VALUE.
