For this one-time class, I will present a short slideshow to introduce learners to the Elements of Art. We will look at and discuss the following elements and principles of art and design: Line, Texture, Value, Pattern, and Color (both Analogous and Complementary groups). Students will then draw to create an abstract design incorporating these elements into their work. Learners will color their compositions using learned techniques for shading.

No prior experience in art or drawing is needed...
