RECAP: THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF ART

Last year we were working on, at least, 6 of the 7 elements of Art. We are going to use them on this project just to remember them all.
These are the seven elements of art (if you click on the image you will find a video with a brief explanation of each element.

They are the basic building blocks of making art.
So how exactly does an artist use the elements? Working as an artist and creating an artwork is similar to being a chef and cooking a meal. The chef uses a list of ingredients combined together in certain amounts to produce a unique recipe. The artist uses art elements and combines them in different ways to create a unique piece of art. The elements of art are like the ingredients in a recipe. Sometimes artworks contain only one or two elements. Sometimes they have all the elements of art. One thing is certain, however. There would be absolutely no art without the seven elements of art.

Divide the worksheet into two equal parts. On one half you will have to use technical tools (set of squares, compass, ruler, protractor...), on the other side you have to draw completely freehand. Make sure that there are no lines dividing the picture.
Use colours, textures and shading to enhance it (3D).
Use markers, colour pencils, and your fine liners...
