For you first assignment you will need to take photos all of Elements and Principles of Design. You will want to make sure that the Elements and Principles have some similarity in feel. This could be similar topic or style.
The Elements are:
Color - The aspect of objects caused by the varying qualities of light reflected or emitted by them.
Form - Three-dimensional quality; has length, width, and depth.
Line - A path of a moving point through space.
Shape - Two-dimensional quality; has length and width.
Space - An artist’s use of area or dimension in the picture plane.
Positive Space: Area taken up by shapes in a composition.
Negative Space: Area taken up by shapes in a composition
Texture - The actual or visual feel of a surface.
Value - Light and dark variation.
The Principles are:
Balance
Symmetrical: Focal point is in the center; design is the same on both sides.
Asymmetrical: Focal point is not at the center; design looks different on both sides but has the same visual weight.
Radial: Design radiates out from the focal point.
Contrast - Striking difference between the parts of a work of art.
Emphasis - Importance given to one or more parts of a work of art.
Movement (Rhythm) - The path marks that lead your eye through a work of art.
Perspective - The illusion of depth by overlapping lines, by extending lines back to a vanishing point, or by viewing something from an unusual angle.
Repetition (Pattern) - More than one point is alike or similar.
Unity - All parts of a composition seem to work together as a unified whole.
