Description
This poster for the art room and will help you incorporate the principles of art into your art lessons. The interactive sketchbook activity will help students do an art critique based on one or more art principles.
Help your students remember the Principles of Design with this unique resource that visually defines the principles. I used the idea of "word as image" or a "calligram" to illustrate each principle using (mostly) only the letters of the word. I've also come up with some kid-friendly definitions for each principle.
There are 3 main parts to this product:
✣ Half sheets that have each principle and definition,
✣ Interactive flip flaps that have each word and definition (for interactive notebooks or sketchbook activities)
✣ Both black/white and color poster designs
Display the Principles of Design in your classroom or art studio with printable half sheets with definitions and posters.
The poster and half sheets include the following Principles of Design:
balance, emphasis, rhythm, contrast, harmony,
pattern, proportion, repetition, variety, movement, and unity
Ask your students to pick a principle from the poster and explain how the word illustrates its meaning, or use this poster to help your students during an art critique; ask them to pick a Principle of Design and explain how a select work of art uses that Principle of Design.
Interactive Sketchbook Activity:
For a written critique, I've made the Principles of Design on "flip flaps" that can be glued into a sketchbook or interactive notebook. Students can flip up the flap and write about a work of art using the principle on the flap. Or they could write about how the word on the flap illustrates the meaning.
