Welcome to Art Cycle

 

Items needed for Art Class

 

*You MUST bring your own pencil and eraser to class each day.

 

 

Projects will all be centered on specific Elements and Principles of Design.  The Elements include: color, value, form, shape, line, and texture.  The Principles include: Variety, Contrast, Emphasis, Balance, Unity, Movement, Rhythm, Pattern, and Repetition. Elements and Principles of Design are the building blocks for a work of art.  Art is created by using the Elements and Principles of Design.

 

There will be at least 4 main projects, including a drawing journal. All work will be held in your folder to be completed in class.
