Elements and Principles of Art

For this project, we were sent on a scavenger hunt to find elements and principles of art. There are twelve elements and principles of art that we had to find pictures for. Here are five of the best pictures and what element or principle they are portraying.

 This picture was taken on the campus of Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota of a tree on the campus green. This picture shows texture.

 This is a picture taken at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This picture shows balance because the the infield is symmetrical.

 This is a picture taken inside the student center at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. This picture does a good job of showing movement with the lines on the glass.

 This is a picture taken of one of my shirts at my house. This picture is used as an example of a pattern.

This is a picture taken at Wylie Park in Aberdeen, South Dakota. This picture is an example of emphasis, the flag is the emphasis in this picture.

A science extension activity they could do with this is project is to find a picture of all the elements and principles from nature. The students could go on a nature walk during the science class and take photos of things in nature that have an element or principle of art. This relates to science because they are finding things in nature with science such as rocks, trees, the sky, etc. and they can only take pictures of things outside in nature.
