What was the most challenging part of using Photoshop yesterday? How will you overcome those challenges today?

Learning target:

• I can successfully create a new 10×10 inch document using Adobe Photoshop
• I can successfully use the brush tool to create different kinds of textures.
• I can complete at least two principles and elements of design layers using Adobe Photoshop.

What are the principles and elements of design? Why are they important to understand?

Using Adobe Photoshop, create 14 layers, one for each element and principle of design. Name each layer and create a visual interpretation as well as a definition for each element and principle.

There are seven basic elements of art and design. These elements include:

• Line
• Color
• Value
• Shape
• Form
• Texture
• Space

There are seven basic principles of art and design. These principles include:

• Balance
• Contrast
• Emphasis
• Movement
• Pattern
• Rhythm
• Unity

Final requirements for the project:

• A single 10 x 10″ layer named for each Principle and Elements of Art (14 total).
• Each layer named with the Principle or Element.
• A definition in your own words.
• A graphic depiction of the Principle or Element.
• Turn in a final image file as a PSD using the naming convention lastname_pe.psd

File management: Your assignment folders and files are organized and set up to classroom expectations.

Deadline: Turn your visual journal link and final Photoshop file to the Google classroom assignment by the end of the school day Tuesday, March 3rd. Name your final file lastname_pedesign.psd

How will you be graded?

Each principle and element layer is worth points. If you turn in all principles and elements layers with all of the requirements you will earn 100%. If, for example, you turn in 7 layers with all requirements you will earn 50%. Turning in 10 principles and elements layers with all requirements will be graded at 71%. Turning in 1 principle and elements layers with all requirements will be graded at 7%.

If you don’t have all of the necessary requirements for each of your layers you will not receive credit for those layers.

All work will need to be turned in by Tuesday, March 3rd by the end of the school day to receive full credit. Late work will be assessed on completeness and marked down by 50%. No work will be accepted after a 1 week grace period. Extra time will be allowed for students with excused absences.
