We use the six elements of art to create a cube of our liking.

Process:
At the beginning we had to go through individual mini lessons about each element of art. Throughout the process w made a drawing, got feedback on what to change and make it better, and improve upon the drawing for the final panel on the actual cube. Our first lesson was line, pretty easy huh, which just meant we had to draw a picture with nothing but lines. They could've been as straight or curvy you wanted them. The feedback I got fro my peers helped me develop the final drawing that I have posted on here.
We repeated this process for the next six mini lessons. I thought, as I figured out what to draw, that my cube should display a little of what makes me, me. Sort of a way to show some of my true colors, that's why two of the drawings are a little... dark. This was a really fun and Interesting project to start off the semester and I was glad i was able to do it.

What I Learned:
What I learned about the elements of art was a lot more than I thought I would learn. Every element we went through, to help us figure out what to do, we were shown the uses of the element with famous artists and how they used it. It really showed me how much these elements are used in the world of art. Since we would get feedback so we could revise during each element, not all of it was helpful. Sometimes you would feedback that said "good job" or "I like the drawing". Its not describing what they liked about the drawing and it isn't giving and criticism on how to improve it, which is the most important part.
The feedback that did work to help you in the long run was what I was hoping for. Some would say "you could make this darker" or "try to make the line more defined so that it pops". Stuff like that really works in the long run. Sometimes you're not happy with your first interpretation of the element so, in the next square, you draw something completely different that you like. Once you figure out what you want you have your peers to help in how to make it better. Sometimes their helpful feedback isn't what you were looking for, but hey, whatever you can use is better than nothing at all. Once we've drawn what our final piece will look like we got the final draft paper and drew each of our elements of art onto each square and, once we finished with that, we cut it out and glued it into an actual cube shape.
