Elements and Principles of Art

I chose this picture to show good
value in the picture. Because of the
3d shape of the actual object you can
see shadows which shows lightand
dark tones depending on where
the picture would be taken.

I took this picture to represent
organic shapes. It is a bush in
in the snow. I like how the picture
shows a 3d shape becuase of the
snow through out the bush.



I chose this picture showing
two simple, thin lines
that cross each other.

I like this picture because of the space
that it shows between the two objects
in the picture, snow and bench. The snow on
the bottom half and the little bit of snow inside
each space shows where the negative space is.



This picture is a picture of
a fire taken in the student
center. It is a picture that
shows rhythm and movement.
Because of the movement
the fire looks blurry.


I think a good extension activity for this project is just to do this exact activity and use it to judge the students on their understanding of the different elements of art.

Footprint Project

I created my footprint describing who I was to show what the most important things in my life are. It's important to have your name on it somewhere, big, so everyone can see it and know who's it is. Then describe yourself using different medias. I found an old Nike stocking hat and cut the Nike symbol out f it, this shows my overall love of sports. Then I put an old basketball card of Michael Jordan on it, because growing up he was my hero and who I idolized. Then I found an old Christmas tree ornament that was a penguin wearing Vikings clothes. This shows my love for the Minnesota Vikings. Then I printed off a picture of the logo for the Minnesota Twins showing the same love for them. I then used a marker and colored three blocks on it to show my future as a teacher. And the last thing I did to it was colored a diamond ring with colored pencils showing my engagement which is June 20th of this year. I also drew that on their to explain that a bit. I think that a project like this could be integrated into several of the common core subjects. For example for history, we as teachers could have each student pick an important historical character and create a footprint on what they are famous for and explain what each thing is for.
