Elements and principles

 For this assignment we had to represent the elements and principles of design. We went around our environment and if we had pictures already in our phones to represent each one with a total of 12 pictures. I chose to create a Canva presentation with my photos and wrote a short explanation about each element. Five pictures from the presentation are below. 

Extinction activity: An activity I would have my students use finger paint on a table and they can explore the sensory experience of the paint. After a while of exploration, I will instruct the students to create as many different types of times as they can. When they are done, we will take big pieces of paper to create a print of the lines they created.

Dot

 We read "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. For this activity, we used coffee filters, watercolor, crayons, markers, and oil pastels. We created a design with the medium of our choice on the filter. I used white crayons to draw hearts in the middle and red and purple markers to create strips radiating from the edges toward the middle where the crayon hearts are. After I was done with drawing, I used watercolors in each section.

For an extension activity I could have each student create a planet and write a short story about what their planet is like and who lives on it etc.
