The same element is used over and over
Regular
repeating in a pattern
Irregular
repeating with no regular pattern

Assignment: School/Class Rule Poster Using the poster guidelines (10 points)
Cut out colored construction paper scraps and pieces of magazines in shapes representing each of the Elements of Art (6 points)
Use all of the Principals of Art to organize the Elements (8 points)
Write how you used each one with specific examples (14 points)
Example: The orange thin rectangle is the Element of Art, line. I put it under the red sphere to add the Principal of Art, emphasis.

Assignment 2: Principals of Art Book Using the Principals of Art
NEATNESS COUNTS
Fold 3- 8 ½” x 11” sheets of paper in half vertically & cover them with a piece of colored construction paper slightly larger. Staple them together at the spine with a book stapler. (10 points)
Each page of the book will represent one of the Principals of Art. You will draw & label them. (6 points)
Draw using all of the Elements of Art on each page organized by at least one Principal of Art per page. (6 points)
Write on each page, using complete sentences, how you used that Principal & the Elements of Art with specific examples. (18 points)
Example: The Element of Art, line, is orange and it is around the red sphere to add the Principal of Art, emphasis. Red and orange are the Elements of Art, color, which are bright colors that also add to the Principal of Art emphasis. I used the Element of Art, value, to make the red circle look like a sphere and also uses the Element of art, space, because a sphere is 3D. I made little lines coming out of the sphere to look like hair which adds the Element of Art, texture.

Assignment 3: Analyzing Look at these pieces of artwork and describe
how each of the Principals of Art are being
used or not for each painting.
Be very specific to that particular piece of
artwork give examples from the art.
Example:
Unity is achieved through the off white background throughout the painting. Scoring:
1 point for each correctly identified Principal
used
1 point for the specific supporting
information
There are 2 points possible per Principal
There are 8 Principals
There are a total of 16 points possible per
painting analyzed
32 points for both pictures combined
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944 Transverse Line, 1923, Oil on canvas
