THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

The Elements of Design are the things that artists and designers work with to create a design, or composition. The Elements are: line, shape, space, value, color, and texture.
Line … The Graphic Unifier. Curved, Straight, Directional Thrust: Horizontal, Vertical, and Diagonal
A curved line is dynamic, ever changing, and more natural, than the straight line, which is more static in character. Direction, while often listed as a separate element, is technically a part of the element "line". The diagonal line is more dynamic and is quicker to draw the eye. It can be used to create movement and depth. Horizontal lines are more static and tranquil therefore calmer, more passive. Vertical lines evoke strength, power, but less dynamic than diagonals.

Shape … Natural, Geometric. Positive and Negative. (The Golden Mean)
Geometric shapes are more passive, decorative, and static than organic shapes. Repeated shapes can be used to create movement. Repeating geometric shapes increases the decorative effect. Look beyond the obvious shapes of heads, bodies, buildings, etc., and view your subject as abstract shapes. Change many of the obvious shapes and create new more interesting shapes. Try to find interlocking shapes. Keep the background shapes in the background, but look for places to connect the foreground and background.

Space / Size … Large, Medium, Small. Proportion or Scale. (The Golden Mean)
The comparative relation between things. Employ large, medium, small concept. Size can be used to make things appear nearer and of greater importance. Size relationships can be used to create depth (Perspective).
Value … Light, Dark. (Value Patterns)

Value can be used to create mood, i.e. dark and mysterious, light and airy, gray and dull. High contrast in value moves things forward; low contrast makes them recede. (Arial Perspective)
Color … Hue, Chorma, and Value.

Hue is the specific name of a color, red, yellow, blue (primary colors). (The Color Wheel)
Chroma, also called saturation, often called intensity, refers to a colors strength or weakness, bright or grayed.

Color Value refers to the lightness or darkness of the color, not to its intensity or to a specific hue.
Texture … Rough, Smooth, Soft, Hard.

Texture shows at the edges and in the play of light and shadow on the surface.
A COMPOSITION is an arrangement of all the elements, which achieves a unified whole. But alas, it is merely a tool to create form and content. Content relates to human emotion and the intellect and is the end result of the reasons for painting. Design is a means to that end.
See: Types of Compositions and A Simple Approach to Good Design.

ATTRIBUTES are defined as the qualities that the art or design conveys to the observer.
Emotional … Active, Passive
Esthetic … Realistic, Impressionistic, Abstract, Decorative
Spatial … Depth, Flat

Family Tree Website Project

Primary Subject - Social Studies, Communications Secondary Subjects - Computers & InternetGrade Level - All

Levels Description: Students will create a family tree of their family members on both sides of their parents. They will first create the family tree on paper and eventaully in a Website form. Students will then create a photo story describing their family members and adding available photos narrating their family tree.

Materials: White paper (draft purposes) Diagram of family tree design Interview both parents on family members Computer with internet service Photoshop, Fireworks Photos of family members Script of photo story narration

Project Goal: Students will be able to use technology tools/software to describe their family in a narrated format using Photo Story.

Objectives: Students will be able to create a script from interviewing their parents. Students will be able to use technology software to develop their family tree video using Fireworks. Students will develop skills in movie creation and storytelling by learning to use Fireworks. Students will be able to use prior knowledge in their skills in technology by using a computer and scanner to complete their family tree video.

Anticipatory Set: The lesson will begin by having an informal discussion on students reflecting back on their knowledge of their families' culture and the size of their family. Students will then explain why it is important to them to research their families' history. The teacher will explain several reasons (based on students' answers) why it will be educational to learn about their history of their family members.

Procedures: Students will begin discussion on the importance on getting acquainted with their family members and learning their background history. Students will design a paper draft of their family tree to use as a guide for their photo story video. Students will participate in a tutorial on how Fireworks. Students will then scan their photos of their family members to use upload onto Fireworks. Students will then practice using Photo Story 3 to familiarize themselves with the program. Students will work on their project and create their family tree photo story project. Students will then complete their project and present their project for peer evaluation.Closure: Students will complete their project by adding the final touches to their photo story project and making any necessary changes. Before students complete their final project, they will discuss and reflect on any new material they have gathered or learned throughout the learning process in which they would like to add to enhance their project.

Assessment: Students will be receiving a rubric on designing a paper design of their family tree and a rubric designing their photo story family tree. Students will also present their photo story project for peer evaluation.

Adaptations/Modifications: Students who need assistance will be working in groups with other peers or the required information needed to complete their project will be condensed (such as only creating a photo story project instead both assignments: paper draft family tree and photo story project). Gifted students can be challenged by being encouraged to be creative on their photo story design, such as with the music they add or with changes in graphic design.
