Elements of Design
Line
Line is the path of a point moving through space.
Shape / Form
Shape implies spatial form and is usually perceived as two-dimensional.
Form has depth, length, and width and resides in space. It is perceived as threedimensional.
Color
Colors all come from the three primaries and black and white. They have three
properties – hue, value, and intensity.
Value
Value refers to relative lightness and darkness and is perceived in terms of varying levels
of contrast.
Texture
Texture refers to the tactile qualities of a surface (actual) or to the visual representation
of such surface qualities (implied).
Space / Perspective
Space refers to the area in which art is organized.
Perspective is representing a volume of space or a 3-dimensional object on a flat surface.

Principles of Design
Pattern
Pattern refers to the repetition or reoccurrence of a design element, exact or varied,
which establishes a visual beat.
Rhythm / Movement
Rhythm or movement refers to the suggestion of motion through the use of various
elements.
Proportion / Scale
Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole and to one another.
Scale refers to relating size to a constant, such as a human body.
Balance
Balance is the impression of equilibrium in a pictorial or sculptural composition. Balance
is often referred to as symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.
Unity
Unity is achieved when the components of a work of art are perceived as harmonious,
giving the work a sense of completion.
Emphasis
Emphasis refers to the created center of interest, the place in an artwork where your
eye first lands.

TPACK and Art
“The 75 visual arts learning activity types are designed
to help teachers plan learning opportunities that
appropriately combine technology, pedagogy and visual
arts content. Learning activity types can be selected and
combined from the taxonomy to help students meet
learning goals” (Dempsey , p. 1).

Visual Arts Learning Activity Types
“To be effective in visual arts-related learning,
technology integration strategies must align with how
teachers plan educational experiences, rather than
designing instruction around the use of particular
technologies”. (Dempsey, p. 1)

New Technologies
“Art education has been able to expand our
students learning by making important
connections to different cultures, time
periods, and has also helped students
explore the meaning of art and why artists
create certain works to create discussions in
society”.
Angela Stevenson
Build Awareness/Conceptualize
Visualize:
Students visualize imagery and recall experiences and stories;
explore ideas to organize information using concept/mind
mapping (Dempsey, p. 2).

Creativity is Critical
“When visual arts learning activity types
are supported by different technologies,
investigative paths to creative and
imaginative thinking can be fostered,
encouraging interdisciplinary student
discovery… they can also serve as
creative outlets that blur the lines between
what constitutes tools and media used for
artistic expression” (Dempsey, p. 11).

Visual Arts Learning
“Using technologies in the visual arts has created
new possibilities for student learning. Digital
technologies… offer students opportunities to
create, construct, design, communicate, connect,
present and reflect as part of their visual arts
learning”. (Dempsey, p. 1).
