Art Reflection #1

The Basic Elements of Drawing

Today was my first day of my Art320 class. Unfortunatley, it was the last day of a series of many long days so I was exhausted and wasn't fully participating at 100%. However, it was a very simple and basic class. The simplicity is what I found interesting, because I never really stop to think of the basic elements that make up my drawings and photography. In the class we participated in an activity of taking photographs that showed the main elements of:

LINES

SHAPE

FORM

COLOUR

TEXTURE

SPACE


and the principles of:

REPITITION/PATTERN

BALANCE

EMPHASIS

CONTRAST


Overall, it was a very relaxing class and I look forward for more to come.
