Photography students were assigned to take photographs of the rules and guidelines of photography. They were given class time to take the photos and upload them, as well as encouraged to take photographs at home or places they encountered during their school week. I wanted the students to be aware of the difference between a snapshot and fine art and this assignment forced them to focus on what they were doing and their "staging" of a good photograph. Arty on! Pattern:Refers to the repetition or reoccurrence of a design element, exact or varied, which establishes a visual "beat." Rhythm and movement:Refers to the suggestion of motion through the use of various elements. proportion and scale:Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole and to one another. Scale refers to relating size to a constant, for example the human body. Balance: (symmetrical)Concerned with equalizing visual forces and elements in a work of art (must have an axis). Formal with identical or equal elements on both sides of the axis balance: (asymmetrical)Concerned with equalizing visual forces and elements in a work of art (must have an axis). Informal with unlike elements on both sides of the axis unity:Achieved when the components of a work of art are perceived as harmonious, giving the work a sense of completion. emphasis:To make one part of an artwork more important than others. The dominant emphasis is the most important where the subordinate emphasis is less important. The focal point is where you want the viewer to look first (this may be the dominant emphasis). Variety:Concerned with differences in elements, which creates visual interest. Line:The path of a point through space. Lines can be combined with other lines to create textures and patterns. The use of line in combination results in the development of form and value, which are other elements of art. Shape: (GEOMETRIC) Examples include circles, triangles, and squares. These shapes have perfect, uniform measurements and do not often appear in nature shape: (organic)Associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals. form:Has length, width, depth and usually resides in space. Forms are perceived as 3-D. space:Refers to the area in which art is organized. value:Refers to the relative lightness and darkness in an image. TExture: (tactile)Refers to the quality of the surface. Tactile textures are actual textures. Texture: (implied)Refers to the quality of the surface. Implied textures are visual representations. color:Derived from reflected light. We can see color because of light waves that are reflected from objects to our eyes. | AuthorThese are my art(ist) educator reflections upon classroom events and lessons.
