The art foundations class has been focusing on the elements of art. We just finished a unit for each of the elements. For the first unit, students created a photogram drawing with a variety of lines in the negative space. The second unit focused on shapes by using letters and words as shapes. The 3rd unit focused on texture. Students chose an animal, enlarged it with a grid and added real or implied texture. Then students learned about color mixing by creating a color wheel, monochromatic value scale and mixed complementary scale. We combined value and space by creating a close-up watercolor painting of a flower. The last element of art we focused on was form. Students first practiced with pinch pots. After that, they built a 3D monster with clay.
