DIrections:
- After you have reviewed the elements and principles of art, divide up up your paper into 8 evenly spaced squares on your paper. Write your name on the back.
- In the 8 boxes you will mix and match the elements and principles of art by demonstrating how they are used with each other. You can mix any element with any principle and use them each once. Label what you used in each box on the back of the paper behind that box.
- Followed directions with 8 squares total and use of multimedia (pen, pencil, colored pencil) 0 pts
- The following elements and principles of art were used in total and accurately and written on the back 20 pts
- Each square is completely filled and shows evidence of effort (time should be 4 class periods and neatness with shading and drawing. 20 pts
