juxtaposition, opposition, repetition
Elements of design: light, line, shape, tone, form, colour, texture
Design strategies: simplification, repetition, manipulation, enlargement,
exaggeration, compare, contrast

**Go to www.shoeonthewall.weebly.com > click Art How To’s > Painting Resources > Colour Theory Explained > read this article down to “Colour Harmony”, then paint a colour wheel including primary, secondary, and tertiary colours
Finish reading the article on the colour theory website mentioned above, then
paint a monochromatic (you will have to figure out what this word means), complimentary, and analogous gradient
Use paint to create a 3D texture
**Paint a 3D cube, cone, sphere (you can modify the shapes if you want)
Draw a subject with interesting form using a single line
The Human Body: using a modal draw a single body part
