The elements of art - WhEre do you sit?
This year, the tables in the art room are organized by the Elements of Art. These are the basic building blocks needed to create an artwork. The elements include: Line, Color, Value, Shape, Form, Texture, and Space. Students will be focusing on learning more about the elements of art as they create their projects throughout the year.
