Elements and Principles of Design

Description: When talking about the elements and principles of design, we were tasked with taking pictures that we thought embodied each element and principle appropriately. I have attached my top five photos that I thought did a splendid job of  expressing contrast, emphasis, color, space, and texture. See if you can match these pictures to the same elements and principles as me!

Extension Activity: I will choose a few pictures for my students to analyze. Students would be divided into small groups and work together with their peers to practice their abilities of spotting the different elements and principles of design. Each group will have the same pictures but will have different discussions and interpretations of the photos. Since art is subjective, we would come back together as a whole group and share what each group thought of.
