Below are the elements are art which are basic terms that we have used and need to know. This week our challenge is to create a simple drawing that demonstrates your knowledge of these 7 elements. If you have questions please be brave and leave them in the comments below (sign in first) so that everyone can benefit as if you have a question, someone else probably does too. Have fun and be creative!
Value- the degree of lightness or darkness of an object

Do we have to draw from life or can we use a photo?
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking! Yes, photos are probably ideal, so have fun with it!
DeleteSince color is one of the terms should we color our drawings this time or just shade it.
ReplyDeletegood question! Shading is fine as white, grey and black are colors.
DeleteHow do we show the 2D shapes but also form?
ReplyDeleteAnother good question! If you had a t shirt that shows form because it is 3D, it could have a triangle design on the sleeve which would be 2D and could simply be a shape. Hope that clarifies!
