Create a Composition Reflecting Design Balance: Create a physical or digital artwork that demonstrates the design principle of balance (e.g., symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial). You can use any medium, such as drawing, photography, or a digital program. Annotate Your Artwork: Label and describe how at least three elements of design (e.g., line, shape, color, texture) and the principle of balance contribute to your composition's emotional or visual impact. Annotations can be written directly on the artwork or submitted as a separate document. Submit Your Artwork and Annotation: Include a photo or digital version of your composition, and ensure the annotations clearly explain your design choices. Grading Criteria: Creativity and Effort: Is the composition visually thoughtful and demonstrates a clear idea of balance? Annotations: Are the design elements and principle of balance identified and effectively explained? Presentation: Is the submission clear, organized, and demonstrates effort? Alignment: Chapter Objectives: Identify and analyze elements and principles of design to explain their contribution to meaning in art. Course SLOs: 1 (Identify works of art as cultural objects) and 2 (Analyze visual elements and principles). Competencies: Information Literacy, Intercultural Competence. See more
