Welcome! This blog post explores a project that depicts one cohesive image divided into 7 sections which illustrate the 7 elements of art: line, shape, color, form, value, texture, and space. The elements of art the artists toolbox they can use in an endless amount of ways to create infinite art solutions.

This is a great skill building activity to deepen knowledge and understanding of the elements of art. Included in this post are step by step photos with specific directions. Let's get started!
*Hey teachers!* Please scroll below for an option to purchase this lesson 🙂

STEPS TO CREATE:

STEP ONE: On a 10" x 10" paper with a 1" border, trace the template which divides your paper into 7 even sections (roughly 51 degrees each). Outline with black marker.

STEP TWO: Lightly sketch out your design with pencil. Draw the contours only! Strive to fill the majority of the box.

STEP THREE // LINE
Divide this area into at least 6 sections. In each section, create a different, intricate zentangle pattern. Explore different line weight (thick to thin) and different types of lines (zig zag, curvy, straight, etc.) Use black marker to finalize.

STEP FOUR // COLOR:
Use colored pencils to create a gradient of cool colors (i.e. purple, blue, green) inside your subject. Then, create a gradient of warm colors (i.e. pink, red, orange, yellow) outside of your subject. Fill the entire section.

STEP SIX // TEXTURE
Use yarn and fabric to create actual textures on your box. Use a glue bottle to attach the fibers to the paper. Explore contrasting colors and fill the entire area.

Another option is to create implied 2d textures in this section using an art tool of your choice. For example, make the leaf look like it has a brick texture by implying this appearance with pencil.

This lesson has become a staple in my middle school art class! Each year, I love to see what the students choose as their subject. Check out a few awesome examples created...

Thanks for checking out this blog post on creating an elements of art project. I would love to see your creations! Feel free to tag me on Instagram and possibly get featured in this site! Also, please follow Make a Mark Studios on Facebook to keep up with the latest posts! Thanks in advance!

Elements of Art: Color

Color, in a simple definition, is light reflected by an object. Color can affect how people feel and is symbolic. In art, a color theory exists. Color theory includes the color wheel, color value, and color schemes. Color is a part of all art and is all around us!
Color Wheel
You may recognize a color wheel. A color wheel includes primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are colors that exist naturally, through natural pigments. No mixing of colors can create a primary color, but primary colors mixed together create all the other colors. Primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.

Secondary colors two primary colors mixed together. Blue and red make purple, red and yellow make orange, and blue and yellow make green. Tertiary colors are one secondary color and one primary color mixed together. They include red-purple, red-orange, blue-green, yellow-green, blue-purple, and yellow-orange.
Color Value
Color value is the lightness and darkness of a color. A color is made lighter or darker by the addition of blacks or whites.

Color schemes are how colors are put together harmoniously. They include:

Monochromatic: 1 color

Analogous: colors that are next to each other on the color wheel

Complimentary: colors across from each other on the color wheel

Color triads: colors equally apart from each other on the color wheel

Split: one color and its complimentary color and closest analogous color-like a combination of different schemes

Warm colors: red, orange, and yellow

Cool colors: blue, green, and purple

Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used to suggest . It uses repeated elements to create a path for the viewers' eyes to follow. Think of it like the beat of a song, it uses repetition to create a stable rhythm. Rhythm in art uses repetition to create a mood and flow. Repetition is pretty straightforward -- meaning that all it needs are repeated elements, whereas there are many different types of rhythm that can add to an artwork.

Random rhythm has no noticeable pattern. Imagine falling snow, crowds of people, or an array of rocks on a beach. These have repeated elements but there's no pattern to them. Take a look at Broadway Boogie Woogie above. This painting was inspired by taxis on the grid-like streets in New York City, and is an example of random rhythm. Notice how there are repeated colours (red, yellow, and blue), but there is no real pattern that the arrangement follows. Yet, this piece still feels united and draws our eyes along it because of the rhythm it has.

was one of the most famous pop art artists, and based much of his work off of repetition. Take a look at these repeated Campbell's soup cans and see how he used repetition in his art.

A Guide for Teachers Why are rhythm and repetition so important? And why are they always paired together? Well, rhythm and repetition play a large role in creating visual interest in an artwork, and work together to create an interesting flow that brings your eyes across the artwork.
