Project 1: Elements and Principles Poster

For this project we learned about the elements of principles. We walked around the school and took pictures based on the different categories. We also found professional photographs that belong in each category. Elements are the materials used to make art and the process of how it is made. The principles are the result and how one puts all those pieces together to create artwork. When I take photos on my own, I tend to focus on creating an interesting photo but I never pay attention to the different elements that make up cool photos like texture or contrast.

My Summer

Over the summer I went to Florida and California. I really enjoyed the sunny weather and the amazing sunsets I saw. My favorite part about summer was spending the day in the heat. I loved going to the pool, beach, going on hikes, going to amusement parks, swimming in rivers, and tanning in the sun. However, I also really enjoyed when it would cool down and I could sit on the grass, beach or a balcony and watch a really pretty sunset. My favorite sunsets are in California but I also really like the Florida ones. This picture was taken in Florida on the balcony of a really fancy hotel. My family and I sat on the patio with really cute and fancy drinks and we took pictures and watched the beautiful sunset. I will always love the transition from a hot sunny day to a cooler beautiful sunset at night and I think it is one of my favorite parts about summer.
