The 7 Principles & Elements of Art – a fun and interactive way for students to learn and apply the building blocks of visual art! In this activity, students first identify each of the 7 principles (balance, unity, proportion, variety, movement, emphasis, pattern) and 7 elements (line, shape, color, texture, space, value, and form) using simple visual icons. Then, they match each principle to a real piece of artwork to see how artists use these tools in action.
 
Also included are 6 creative drawing templates to choose from, where students can try illustrating their own examples of each principle and element —perfect for hands-on learning and skill-building.
