Project 1 Reflection~Elements and Principles of Design

The photo project incorporating elements and principles of art using PhotoBucket was a great way to re-enforce these topics.  While scanning my house for items to snap photos of I found myself looking at things differently.  I also had to keep referring to the reading in the textbook to try to understand these concepts more.  Through this process I found that a lot of my pictures would certainly encompass more than one element or principle.  Using Photobucket was a little more time consuming than I had hoped, but presents several nice options for sharing photos digitally. Some  of my favorite element shots were shape, light, and texture.  My shape photo is a baby gate that shows distinct lines to create rectangles.  For texture, I took a close up of our fireplace broom.  I really like how this photo really shows the texture of the bristles. I showed rhythm using an upward view of my staircase.  I like how the repeated lines of the stairs shows the repetition. Finally, my favorite, is light.  My husband uses a 3D printer for work and the light emitted from this machine really looks neat in the photo.

  1. You have done a great job choosing pictures! I especially love the backpacks, I LOVE Vera Bradley. I also had to keep referring to the reading. I kept confusing elements with principles. I thought that many items/pictures could be used for a lot of the elements or principles. It was difficult deciding which category to place them at times.

  2. I really enjoyed the fact that you found different pieces and images that could work for multiple elements. I think that i might have had a similar problem to you, as you look at some of the pieces you can see more than one principle makes it up. I think that all in all you did a really great job!!!!!!!!!! :)

  3. Awesome job. Vera Bradley is a great example of use of color. The horizontal and vertical elements in the bench are a perfect representation of line. I also felt like after focusing on this project, I saw things differently. After finishing it, I was seeing all kinds of photo opportunities for the project. Great work!
