Description: For this project we each found a picture that represented each of the 12 elements of art and then presented them to our class. I provided 5 examples here and my canva link. 

Rhythm/Movement: Rhythm and movement in art make your eyes follow a path through the picture. Artists create this by repeating lines, shapes, or colors to show motion or make the artwork feel alive.

Space (Depth): How we show things that are close or far away. Artists make things look deep by making objects in the front bigger and detailed, and tings in the back are smaller and lighter.
Color: Color is what we see when light reflects off obects. It has 3 properties: HUE - the name of the color, like red or bue, VALUE - how light or dark the color is, and INTENSITY - how bright or dull the color is. Colors can be warm (red, orange yellow) or cool (blue, green, and purple) and can be mixed to make new colors.
Texture: The way something feels when touched or its look and feel. Refers to the surface quality
Pattern: When the same shapes, lines, or colors are used over and over in an artwork. Patterns can be found in nature, like stripes on a zebra, or in designs, like checkerboards and polka dots.
Extension Activity: As an extension of the scavenger hunt and presentation, students will create their own original artwork that intentionally incorporates at least 5 of the 12 elements and principles of art they previously studied. After completing their piece, students will write a short artist statement explaining how they used each element or principle in their design and the choices they made in the creative process. This allows students to move from identification to application, demonstrating their understanding through hands-on creation and reflection.

Project #4: Hidden Safari

-

  Description: For the hidden safari project, we first made glasses from construction paper and a red film so we would be able to see our hidden animal later on in the project. When making the hidden animal we first first chose a safari animal to draw and we had to draw it upside down so we could only focus on the lines of the animal rather than the entirety of it. We also had to draw it lightly in the color blue so our glasses could later pick up on the color. After we finished drawing it we then used multiple warm colors to to cover it in many different shapes. We did this because blue is a complimentary color to warm colors so it pops out when we put the glasses over it making it so we only see the animal we chose. I chose a rhino but it is kind of hard to see it in the picture, in real life you can see it through the glasses. At the end we had to glue our image and 3 facts onto a red construction paper to complete our project.  Extension Activity: As an extension of the Hi...

Project #1: Footprint Introduction

-

 Description: This footprint activity was used so we could get to know our classmates. We started by tracing on of our feet and then added different elements that described who we are. We were required to use at least 3 different media (markers, pictures, stickers).  On my foot project I had my dogs and a picture of an otter because those are my favorite animals. I had my family and the capital because I'm from Pierre, SD. I also had a book and movies because I like to read and watch shows/movies. I had images of concerts I've been to because I love going to concerts and also traveling different places. I had an apple, weights, and a basketball to represent my major of elementary education and my minor of coaching.  Extension Activity: As an extension of the footprint project, students will participate in a "Gallery Walk & Reflection" activity. After all footprints are displayed around the room, students will walk around, view their classmates' projects, and l...
