Looking at Art through ���Its Basic Elements
• Subject: ���What is represented in the picture?
• Composition: ���The arrangement of visual elements (line, shape, color, textures, space)
• Expressive Content: ���What is the work really about?

Composition • Main interest shouldn’t be in center • Many older (and new) works follow the formal
composition known as the Golden Section or Divine Proportion

SHAPE • Shapes are geometric or organic • Repeated shapes can unify a work • An artist’s choice of shapes can
make a statement

TEXTURE • Texture refers to both real and
simulated texture. • Real texture refers to the actual
surface of a painting (rough if paint is applied thickly, etc.)
• Simulated texture refers to the appearance of the texture of an object as depicted in a work.

• Balance • Repetition and Rhythm • Contrast • Movement • Emphasis • Pattern • Unity
DESIGN PRINCIPLES ���a.k.a. Formal Elements of Art���or Principles of Visual Organization
![Page 14: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through !

BALANCE • Symmetrical (also formal���
or classical balance) • Asymmetrical balance • Value/color balance • Radial balance
Design Principle

REPETITION & ���RHYTHM
• Repetition of art elements:���color, line, shape, texture
• Can be used to create sense of movement
• Irregular rhythm creates visual interest
Design Principle
![Page 17: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CONTRAST • Contrast of art elements:���
textures, colors, shapes, values, line
• Contrast can be used for emphasis
Design Principle
![Page 18: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MOVEMENT • Visual movement is
used to direct viewers through a work
• Visual passage or linkage is achieved by use of lines, edges, shapes and colors
Design Principle
![Page 19: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

EMPHASIS • Contrast and line are used to create
dominance and focus for the most important part of a work
• Focal point is rarely��� in the center of ���a work
Design Principle
![Page 21: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PATTERN • Pattern increases visual excitement by
enriching surface interest
Design Principle

UNITY • Unity gives a work a cohesive quality,���
and the elements of that work look like they belong together
• Unity can be achieved through:���pattern, a dominant color, contour continuation, clustering of objects, and repeated shape
Design Principle
![Page 24: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• DO NOT try to talk about all the elements and principles.
• DO NOT make them the focus of your presentations. Use them as a tool to talk about art.
• DO introduce students to the vocabulary and concepts throughout the year.
• DO start introducing the elements/principles at the appropriate age.
So, how do I use these elements and principles in my presentations?

Looking at Art through ���Its Basic Elements
• Subject: ���What is represented in the picture?
• Composition: ���The arrangement of visual elements (line, shape, color, textures, space)
• Expressive Content: ���What is the work really about?
![Page 26: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through !

The Picture Person Presentation
• Be enthusiastic! • Keep it simple. • Review from the last ���
presentation. • Ask questions. • Make art the focus--use vocabulary & concepts. • Include details about work’s size, medium, etc. • Make projects, if any, relevant.
![Page 27: Presenting Art to Children - Peoria Riverfront Museum · Looking at Art through ! Its Basic Elements! • Subject: " What is represented in the picture?! • Composition: " The arrangement](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022513/5af04f137f8b9aa9168daf1c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Preparing your Presentation • Arrange the time with teacher/coordinator. • Pick your print (if you have a choice). • Prepare for your presentation (read, gather materials if needed). • How much information do you share about the artist/artwork? • What kind of questions do you ask? • Which art elements/principles of design can you point out? • Make projects, if any, relevant.

Some Final Advice • You know more than ���
the students, so relax ���and have fun.
• Just because you know ���more than the students, ���don’t feel you need to tell ���them everything you know.
• Be confident of what you know, but don’t be afraid to admit what you don’t know
