Elements of Art and Principles of Design Scavenger Hunt
Description: For this activity, we had to go on a scavenger hunt and take pictures that portrayed the elements of art and principles of design. We were asked to capture a minimum of twelve photos that represented these principles and designs: lines, shapes, texture, space, value, color, balance, movement, contrast, unity/variety, emphasis, and pattern. We then had to create a presentation of some type that included the twelve photos along with age-appropriate definitions for the grade level of choosing. My partner and I chose K-2.
Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I could have a stack of photos (could be ones I took, others took, or printed) that show the elements and principles. The students could complete a sorting activity where they have to take the images and sort them into groups based on the element or principle (e.g., a one pile showing color, another pile showing lines, a third pile showing shapes, etc.). After they're done sorting, we could talk through why they sorted them the way they did.
