Elements and Principles of Design

This project was all about the elements and principles of design. Below I have 5 pictures that represent one of the 12 elements and principles. 

This first picture was taken in the softball locker room at Northern State University. This picture shows great color of the wolf head. Your eye is immediately drawn to the face and my eyes are always caught in the eyes of the wolf. 

The second picture is of a locker door also on the campus of Northern State University. This locker shows the diamond shape and how it continues down the front of the locker door. I like that the diamonds are very sharp and clear cut.   

The third picture is one of my favorites. This picture of a mounted bear shows great focal point because when you look at the picture you eye is immediately drawn to the nose of the bear. The whole face is up close and personal but the nose looks as if it is peaking out of the picture. 

The fourth picture shows contrast of the white lights against the black keys of a MacBookPro. This picture was taken of a keyboard on a MacBookPro 13. When you look at this picture you see shapes and sizes of different keys and the consistent contrast in the black and white color.

The fifth picture shows the texture of the wood. This is a picture of a classroom door at Northern State University. In this picture I would use the word rough to describe what texture the picture is portraying.  

I could use this project in the classroom with social studies. I would have everyone go around the classroom and school and take pictures of identifying marks that tell you where you are in the school or classroom.  Once the students have two or three good pictures they will write one paragraph (4-6 sentences) explaining their pictures and what the picture is representing. The students will type their paragraph when they have a final copy of it done.
