UNIT 1: VISUAL ELEMENTS IN ART

VISUAL ELEMENTS IN ART

DOT, LINE, SHAPE, FORM, COLOUR, VALUE, TEXTURE, SPACE

This term we will start playing with all the different elements of art: dot, line, shape, form, colour, value, texture and space. Do not be afraid of unexpected results! We will be creating both visual and tactile textures. Keep an open mind for the unknown and try to experiment with new materials as much as possible. You can work individually or in groups, but do not forget to bring the materials or we will have to experiment with your own clothes... but before we get started let's have a look at these images, videos and presentations:
