Lines! Drawing Contrast
Project Description: Students will create a drawing to practice using CONTRAST as the main focus. Students will include contrasting LINES with GEOMETRIC vs. ORGANIC along with COLORS vs black and white. Artwork should also show BALANCE within COMPOSITION. This project will also allow students to practice using the ruler to draw and an intro to color.
Contrast in art: Contrast is simply defined as difference. Difference between art elements like color, value, size, texture, and so on can intensify the elements used. As a result, the elements used in a work of art can become more powerful. Although contrast is closely related with variety, it is usually considered a principle of art.
Geometric Shapes or Lines: Geometric shapes come from geometry, which is the math of shapes made of points and lines. Geometric shapes are shapes made out of points and lines including the triangle, square, and circle. ... These shapes are the opposite of organic shapes. While geometric shapes are more precise, organic shapes are natural.
