Welcome to my art sketchbook for EDCI 307A! In this sketchbook, I’ve included information about the elements of design, principles of design, and the image development strategies. Each post generally has the following format (with some exceptions):

• KQED Video (for the elements of design)
• My Artwork: an image of my work and instructions for the activity
• Critical Analysis: the name of the artist and a piece of work that can be used to talk about the element/ principle/ image development strategy
• Some Extra Resources: these may include unit plans, art activities I found online, or some videos. When I mention extra resources, I’ve included a link to that resource (the links are in green font), along with a brief summary.

The sketchbook has 4 sections:

• Elements of Design
  • Element of Shape
  • Element of Line
  • Element of Colour
  • Element of Texture
  • Element of Value
  • Element of Form
  • Element of Space
• Principles of Design
  • This section focuses on the principles of movement, but also has some information about the principles of design in general.
• Image Development Strategies
  • This section talks about image development strategies and has some examples for a few of them.
• Extra Information
  • First Peoples Principles of Learning in an Art Class
  • Unit Planning
  • Ways of Talking in an Art Classroom
  • Check Your Misconceptions

I hope you enjoy my digital sketchbook! It has an abundance of useful information that I look forward to bringing into my future art classroom!

P.S. Most of the information in this sketchbook is from EDCI 307A course slides (credit to Dr. Kathleen Schmalz). If I got my information from another source, or I took information directly from our class Powerpoints, I gave credit/ stated where I got it from.
