Response to ONE work ... a place to begin


A place to begin...

 Due next class
AUG 30th 

It's always interesting to look at others' creative works. 
They often inform us, their viewers, about the things creative makers engage themselves in and where their interests and ideas may lie.

 I want you to do just that.

 Select one work of art from www.jenpepper.com
It may be 2D or 3D.

 Describe it through these four elements:

  1. Noting the work's use of color, what do you think it might mean...
  2. Noting the work's use of line, what do you think it might mean...
  3. Noting the work's use of form and shape, and what you think it may mean...
  4. Noting the work's use of texture, and what you think it may mean...


 Please write one paragraph on each of the four elements above.

 Send digitally to me at jpepper@cazenovia.edu with your 
Name
Your program
Your year in college

In the emails subject line, note: "A place to begin."

 Thank you.

Starter Kit Companion : Elements & Principles of Visual Design

The  elements  and  principles of design   are the foundational building blocks used to create a visual work.  The elements of design are the A, B, C's that are put together by any artist or  designer  to create an image or object.   The  grammar  of how these elements are used create the overall work.   Good or bad, all visual works will contain most of these elements, if not all, the nine elements of design. The  principles of design  can be thought of as  what we do  with the elements of design.   How we manipulate the elements and principles of design, or, how we employ them, creates an  impression  that an audience will  interpret .  These are the artist and designers  writing tools  of how they express an  idea,  if  you will.  How we apply the  principles  of design determines how  successful we are in creating a work of...
