This course will look at the elements and principles of design.
There are seven elements of design: line, shape, form, colour, value, space and texture.
The principles of design consist of unity, variety, emphasis, contrast, rhythm, movement, balance, pattern and proportion. These principles are used to arrange the elements of design in such a way to convey or express meaning in an artwork.

Doodle Drawing (Introductory Project) - Due September 15, 2015
For this project, we will look at doodle drawings and designs. A doodle is an unfocused or unconscious drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes. Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.
Because you will be learning how to express yourself through art, you will focus your doodle around yourself. You will choose an image to represent you to draw in the center of your page (this will be your focal point) and then fill the rest of your page with random doodles, shapes, lines, words, and patterns. Your drawing will be completed in pencil, outlined with marker, and then coloured completely. Please try your best to keep your project neat.
This project will help me to get to know you as an artist and express your personality. Remember to be creative!
Examples of doodle meanings can be found here and here.
Examples of art doodles can be found here and here are examples of doodles found in Google.
For detailed instructions, please see the PowerPoint presentation below.
