The Elements of Art Project

Right now we have to do a project about The Elements of Art. We had to do work on all the 5 Elements of Art which are Color & Tone, Shape & Form, Pattern, Line, and Texture. For this project, we have to have examples of our own arts that represent each of the elements. Also, we have to have examples of each elements that are actual arts that belong to artists. Then we have to write captions for each art, explaining why we think the art piece represents the elements.

Each week, I had a chance to think before going to art class, and plan about each art. The first couple of weeks, I went in desperate because I didn't know what to do. But as I sit there, ideas started to come out. Since then, after I learned my lesson, I always have to think of an idea before going to class or else, I'll waste my time again. First I started with Color & Tone because I thought it would be nice and easy. I had an idea of painting the sky, because there are many tones of blue and it's a good way to represent Color & Tone. I also painted a heart with different tones of pink so it represented Color & Tone as well. For Shape & Form, I drew a castle because there are many shapes in it and it would be a good example. For Line, I drew a landscape and a girl. The mountains, river, sun, clouds were objects that had many varied types of lines, that was why I chose to draw those things. For Pattern, I drew random patterns that I could think of. Basically, things I drew were similar to the African patterns I used to do, only that the color is not African. And lastly, for the Texture, I painted the paper blue, and stick cottons onto the paper as clouds. I thought that it was a good way to represent texture because you could feel the texture when looking at cottons.

Here are the pictures of my arts:
