gold and glitter paint.

Introduction
to Elements
of Design

To be introduced to
the EoD

Discuss the 7 EoD (form,

space, shape, line,
texture, colour, value).
Relate this to Van Goghs
Starry Night Painting.
Learners will draw eight blocks in their
sketchbooks and fill each one with a different
design which reflects each element accurately.

Value

Learning about the

EoD Line

Part 1:

Learners will practice all three of these

techniques using a simple pear still life.
They will the do a line drawing of an object on
their desk.
