Elements and Principles of Design

-

 Summary: 

For this project, we had to go on a scavenger hunt and take a photo of the 12 elements and principles of design that we see in our everyday lives. I chose the top 5 photos that I took on my scavenger hunt of the elements and principles of design. After the scavenger hunt, I took all the photos and placed them in a PowerPoint. In the PowerPoint, I labeled each photo with what element and principle of design it is and what the definition of the element and principle of design is. 

Extension Activity: 

An extension activity I can do for the elements and principles of design is having students draw an image that includes all 12 elements and principles of design. When the students are done with their image they will have to identify the different elements and principles of design they used to write it on the back of their project. This will help students learn more about the 12 elements and principles of design.

DOT Day Explorations

  Summary: The Dot by Peter Reynolds inspired this project where I created my own dot. I created my dot with coffee filters and I drew be bold with white crayon. Then, I used markers and chalk crayons to draw on my coffee filter. After I drew on the coffee filter, I took watercolor paints and started painting over the drawings. I blended the color of the paint with the chalk and markers to make the blue and purple color on my coffee filter. What I like the most about this project is how you can use this as a reading lesson and an art lesson. Doing this will make students excited because they will be able to create their own dot and show their creativity as well Extension Activity: An extension activity I can do is have the students create their own dot. This will allow students to customize the name tags on their lockers. The dots will replace the footprints that are on their locker from the previous art activity. Photograph:

 Summary:  For this project, we were assigned an ecosystem from around the world. I was assigned the grassland ecosystem and I based it off of the South Dakota grassland. In the beginning, we had to draw different elements of our ecosystem and we had to make sure that we included at least one animal into our drawing. With this in mind, I drew a Buffalo, grass, tree, the sun, birds, and Mount Rushmore. I drew a Buffalo because they were commonly found in South Dakota before they were nearly hunted to extinction in the late 1800s and they could be found in Custer State Park. I included Mount Rushmore in my drawing because when I think of South Dakota, I can't help thinking of Mount Rushmore. I drew the other elements because they are the main parts of the grassland ecosystem. When we were done with the drawing, we had to place a piece of foam on top of it. We had to trace out drawings on the foam, so we could put paint on the foam and place the painted foam on a larger piece of ...

Drawing

 Summary: This drawing project is where we cut a white piece of paper into four sections. In each section, we had to draw something that we like to do in our free time. I drew a yellow redbull can because redbull is my go-to energy drink to have when I feel I need more energy. Next, I drew a cowboy boot because I like listening to country music and I grew up on a farm. I drew the cowboy boot in colored pencil and used green for the hill that the boot sits on. Then, I drew the bee because my favorite show is Bridgerton and the bee is a symbol in the show. Lastly, I drew the Ziggi's logo because I like going to Ziggi's to get their energy infusion when I feel like I need to treat myself. For the project, we had to use three different types of media and I used colored pencils, crayons, and markers.  Extension Activity: I can use this project in a social studies lesson. Students will be assigned a historical figure from America that we are learning about in class. The students wil...
