Elements of Art in Photography
The Elements of Art are the building blocks of all Art. Using these in your photographs will lead the viewer to see your subject and to create areas of interest as well as an overall pleasing image. Not all elements are used in artwork, but one can usually find several when one studies the image more in-depth.
​
In this unit, students will learn how to use the Elements of Art in their photos to create interest and draw the viewer into the photo. Students will take a series of photos for each element, edit the photos to enhance them and then create a poster in Photoshop for their best representation of the Elements.
What are the elements of art that we will use? Watch the video to learn more.
