The goal of this project is to get you thinking about how to identify the elements and principles of design within your own work. For this project, using only items from your kitchen, create compositions that display the principles and elements of design.
You will turn in 15 final, processed images. Each image will demonstrate one of the elements and principles of design you see below. You must shoot at least 20 exposures for each element/principle. Happy shooting!
The Elements of Design are:
Line
Shape
Form
Space
Value
Color
Texture
The Principles of Design are:
Balance
Contrast
Emphasis
Size/Scale/Proportion
Repetition
Rhythm/Movement
Variety
Unity
