Students learned about the Elements of Art through a digital scavenger hunt activity. To apply their knowledge of the elements, students are in the midst of creating a composition of their choice that somehow displays all seven elements. This is a great project because it allows students to show their creativity because it is the only project where students are given complete freedom of what their artwork looks like. Students are coming to realize that the elements work hand-in-hand with one another and it is easier than they originally thought to include all of them within one artwork. Yesterday students engaged in a TAG critique to share ideas before starting on their final artworks. TAG is a great critique to give thoughtful suggestions and allow the artist to think about the direction of their artwork.
T - Tell the artist something you like.
A - Ask the artist a question.
G - Give the artist a suggestion.
Next week students will finish up their artwork using any dry medium of their choice (marker, colored pencil, pencil, crayon, or chalk pastel). We will also be reviewing the definitions for each Element of Art so students can study for a quiz.
