The Elements of Art are the building blocks of art. They include line, shape, value, texture, space, color and form. They are also a great starting point when discussing art. All works of art including 3-dimensional works, have some, if not all of the elements of art within a piece.  The beginning of the school year usually begins with a review of the Elements of Art and a project that has students incorporate the elements. In the this project, each student chose an animal silhouette of their choice and then divided their paper into 6 sections. Each section focused on a particular element of art while still maintaining the overall shape of the animal. We left out form in this project since six sections seem to work better. As you look at the student work, see if you can identify which sections relate to line, shape, value, space, color or texture.  Also, notice how each student came up with their own creative designs for each section.
