In your sketchbook divide 4 pages in half (doesn’t matter how you divide it in half), on the
first half create a title page for the elements of art with their definitions, think about it like a
book cover (make it look good!)

For the next 7 halves you will fill the page with a different element of art, using at least two
different materials and creatively including the name of the element somewhere on the page.
You may use magazine images, drawing, painting or other materials to fill the page and
explore every possible use of that element!

Consider how you lead our eyes around the page and all you know about composition. Don’t
just fill the page with random lines or shapes.
