Elements


In this project, I was to "doodle" a drawing in out sketch book. In the sketch, I was to include the elements of art along with focusing on one principle of design. In my picture, I started by making random lines and shapes and eventually came up with sea creature like shapes. The creatures come in all shapes and sizes, I used different colors, have used and unused space, have dark and light areas, and have depth and volume. I was trying to focus on emphasis by using lighter colors to focus upon the smaller, closer creatures and darker colors to king of "blend in" the larger, further away creatures. I also used pattern by outlining the eyes, gills, and flippers in a darker color if the creature is colored a light color and vis-versa.
