Design Elements are NONTOXIC!

The point of this activity was to create meaning by using a design element to depict the following:

-Positive and Negative

-Movement

-Chaos

-Playful

-Stability

By using various design elements that we got lectured about in class, we were suppose to try to convey those words in the best way we think possible (visually, of course).

These are the final five that I chose...(yes I know they look easy)

Those are bubbles by the way ^

These are the rough drafts that I did for the above five:

I wasn't too sure if we were supposed to have 15 sketches or rough drafts on each page for each meaning, so I decided to play it safe and did it all (never hurts to have more?).

Overall this took me like 3 hours... it took me awhile to think of ideas. And I also played with all sorts of different things, not just a pencil.

I used:

-coloured water paints

-pencil

-marker

-acrylic paints

-pastels

-charcoal

-ruler?

After this exercise, I found a new love for pastels... =)

EDIT: Ew so apparently I did most of the assignment wrong due to some unclear instructions... the entire thing is supposed to be done all in black marker. This is 2009 people, where's the colour love?
