IV. Drawing

·The materials and methods of drawing are the most basic tools of the artist and the designer. Work that is intended to be executed in almost any material

· have enhanced their ability to think visually, and communicate ideas in visual ways.

· be familiar with the components of design and fine arts, and be able to use design language to discuss and evaluate designed projects.

ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT OUTCOMES

The student will be assessed in the following areas:

CLASS RULES AND POLICIES:

• The use of the Elements of Design:

The elements are components or parts which can be isolated and defined in any visual design or work of art. They are the structure of the work, and can carry a wide variety of messages.

The elements are: Line, Value, Shape, Form, Space, Texture and Color.

• The use of the Principles of Design

The Principles are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural elements of design. Again, the way in which these principles are applied affects the expressive content, or the message of the work.

The principles are: Balance, Proportion, Rhythm, Emphasis, Unity, Harmony, Movement and Variety.
