About this School Project (Arch - Principles of Design: Symbolic Animal)
The students brainstormed aspects of their personality and animals that may be able to represent them symbolically. They designed their animal choice on black paper using metallic and bright colored pencils and gel pens. They also created a background using patterns in marker with a wet-on-wet watercolor application of analogous colors. The animal was attached the background. Then students participated in multiple discussions and activities where they focused on the 8 principles of design. They explained the 5 strongest principles in their artwork based on their design to demonstrate their understanding of these new concepts.
