mark-making
Introduction into
First we're gonna start with the elements & Principles of design
Elements
principles
What do I need to do for this project?
For this project, you will need to understand, create, and document your understanding of the 7 ELEMENTS and 7 PRINCIPLES of Design!
This will be accomplished with your taking your phone or camera and heading out into our beautiful campus! You will need to capture one example for each of the E&P above. Because you will only need to collect one for each... it needs to be a strong example. You will finish this off with a short sentence about why it is a good example!
You're going to need to print these out (instructions for printing from our class computers can be found beside the monitors) - BUT, they need to be small, maybe 3x3 inches at the biggest? I don't want your first 10 pages of your SB taken up by large photos.
​
Oh, and one more key element... think interesting photos! Get low, get high, get creative! Think selfie, not mug shot!
How will this be evaluated?
You're going to get one point for each successful E and P, for a total of 14.
​
Now we got the E & P...
We're going to experiment with india ink
What do I need to do for this project?
This project is split into 3 main parts...
1. The first is to experiment with India ink on newsprint with cedar bark... there are no mistakes mark-make, mark-make, mark-make!
2. You're going to select a few specific areas that interest you.
3. Take these designs/patterns, and experiment with combinations - keeping in mind the E&P of D!
4. Once you have your final composition chosen, you're going to recreate it on good paper.
5. Last step is to include a shape of colour that works with your design (you can photocopy your step 4, and experiment on here!).
6. Make sure everything is documented in your SB, and fill out your marking sheet - this goes in you SB at the start of the project.
