Structural elements and conceptual principles of design

Objective:
Visually demonstrate an understanding of the structural elements and conceptual principles of design.

Assignment: (use the defined picture plane)
Use line, shape and value as elements to construct a design. A sense of weight or balance should be evident as well as a defined compositional model. Utilize a formal (symmetrical) or an informal (asymmetrical) compositional model to achieve the desired look of the arrangement.

Skills Assessment Criteria:
Each category demonstrated is worth 20 points
Use of Line:
Is the line expressive and create movement, does it establish form and value
Shape:
Is the shape organic or geometric, does it help establish the illusion of depth, does the shape advance the composition
Value:
Does the use of value establish separation of elements, is contrast used as a visual device to define form and create spatial illusion
Balance:
Is visual weight established by placement of objects and is there a sense of balance within the composition
Proportion:
Does the proportion or scale of the elements help create an illusion of depth, do the elements relate to one another as a result of proportion, is the use of proportion evident in creating a striking picture

Written statement:
Describe the arrangement of elements, compositional model and thought process used to complete the finished design. (typed) at least 200 words

Sizecreate an 8 x 10 defined picture plane on an 8.5 x 11 inch page

Due: (for a grade)
