Art Coloring Book: Step it up Challenge

 LI: To use TEEL paragraphs and explain our color choice.

Recreated Art

An art can be described by its elements, which means that every piece of art includes lines, shapes, form, space, colors, value and texture. An art can only be created when a person covers all the elements mentioned above, in the right technique therefore when all these features are included in a piece of art it makes it more descriptive. All the elements connect to each other and can be called incomplete if excluded or used in the wrong way. 

An artwork starts with a line, which is a stroke or a continuous mark made on a surface. A line can either be straight or curved, bold or thin. When two or more lines are combined it forms a shape which is our second element. Shapes are of various types, on one hand it can be geometric, including circles, squares but on the other hand it can be natural, including an undefined structure of a monument or sculpture. When a shape is created with a three dimensional formation it creates a form. It means taking up space like sculptures, but it can also be an illusion as a drawing. Space is another element of art, which means the area taken by the object, in other words it can be called volume.

Color being the most demonstrative element in art can often depict space by filling the area. The primary or main colors include red, blue and yellow whereas the secondary colors include purple, green and brown. The primary colors are merged to form secondary colors making the artwork more radiant. Value resembles the darkness and brightness of colors which can be done by adding black and white respectively. A dark and bright value creates contrast, showcasing the difference and similarities. Adding two or more values forms a texture, which describes how the surface feels. It can either be rough or smooth, wet or dry, hard or soft. 

Every piece of art created in this world includes all the seven elements making it more aesthetic. The artwork that I recreated also has the seven elements and it showcases ancient Egypt. The dull colors, descriptive shapes, color combinations and the layered texture explains everything. In conclusion, every piece of art is made by combining all the features, making it incomplete if one of the elements are left.

Last week I completed the Step it up art challenge from the previous summer learning journey art activities. The purpose of this task was to explain our color choice by using our language and vocabulary we learnt from watching the information video. I used the TEEL acronym to complete this task as it made the formation part much more easier. The acronym stands for Topic sentence, Elaboration, Evidence, and Linking. I think watching the video was the a great help as it explained the topic in more detail and also gave us ideas on what we can add. I think using the transitional vocabulary and using synonyms were also very helpful. After completing this activity I cam e to much more about the seven elements of art which are the lines, shapes, form, space, color, value and texture.
