Art Elements Review Part 2

In Part One of the Art Elements Review, we worked on Line, Shape, Color and Form.  This post will talk about Part Two, which is Value, Space and Texture.

VALUE:  the kids illustrated a value scale with either crayon or pencil

A row of triangles in varying shades from dark to light, with "Value" written in a box above them, illustrating key Art Elements.

SPACE: This was shown through overlap, perspective, positive/negative space, filling the page, etc.

TEXTURE: The kids used texture rubbing plates and crayons to show texture.

Various colorful crayon textures on paper labeled "Texture" at the top, showcasing different Art Elements.

Colorful abstract drawings of shapes and scribbles labeled with the word "TEXTURE" in crayon showcase various Art Elements, creating a review of foundational art concepts.

Various colorful textured patterns and the word "texture" are painted on a white background, showcasing intriguing Art Elements.

All of these element exercises were on small pieces of paper and we taped them into our sketchbooks.

Right after I finished teaching this, I saw this post by Monument Valley Regional Middle School, which turned out very cool.  I will have to try that next year!  See… they are in circles… they are a work of art!

A white page with colorful circles each illustrating different artistic concepts like form, texture, and color – a comprehensive review of key art elements.
