When artists work with the Elements of Art (line, shape, form, value, texture, space, and color), decisions must be made HOW these elements should be arranged.
An effective work of art will have a thoughtful arrangement/composition of these elements.
Composition IS the plan of how the elements and principles will work together to make visually successful art.
The more practice you have thinking about and arranging the elements and principles of design, the more comfortable you will be when you compose your own works of art.
The Design Matrix is an interesting way for you to practice and review/learn the elements of art and principles of design in many different combinations.
Use your previous knowledge on the Elements with your new research into the Principles, to complete this activity.
Design Matrix Process:
Design Matrix Process:
1. Use a pencil to lightly experiment on solving each square in the matrix.
2. Avoid clichés and simple solutions. Be creative and unique!
Think about how the artwork would look enlarged. Would it stand out as an artwork on it's own?
3. Try to make each square entirely different than the others.
4. When you like your ideas, they need to be finished with either thin Sharpie, Colored Pencil, or pencil.
5. MAKE SURE your neatness and craftsmanship are excellent!
