The "Element"

   
   This was our "Element" exercise that we had to do in our Elements and Principles class.  

The exercise started with us coloring in 7 squares on a 4 x 4 grid piece of grid paper. Off of these shaded in squares we had to build a 3D structure. Then, incorporate an element or principle of design into our structure. Mine was "line," made very visible in the layout and decoration of structure. 
 
    Everything was made out of 11 x14in sheets of vellum/bristol. It was very time consuming to cut, measure, and score all the paper so that it would fit together. All of the blue stripes were actually cuts in the white vellum, with blue paper placed behind. 
 
   This was definitely a fun exercise to do. CLICK FOR LARGER PICTURE
