Create a mini guidebook as you learn about the elements of visual art. Click HERE to see how to fold the guidebook from a regular piece of paper. As you explore the elements of visual art on this page, you will find seven (7) prompts/questions that you will respond to on each page of your book. One response per page - no particular order required. Once you are done, turn your book into Ms. G so she can give you the code to move on to Step 2.
Page 1 (Cover page) - title your book, "Elements of Visual Art".
Provide some examples of things that are considered visual art.
Don't forget your name!
Once you have finished the guidebook, show it to Ms. Girardin so you can move on to step 2.
Go to Google Classroom > Unit 2 > Elements of Visual Art Blooket. (Ms. G has to see your guidebook before you will be able to access this assessment.) The assignment will not be considered complete until you get at least 15 questions correct.
