Design: The Elements

Offering a good introduction to the basic elements of design--line, shape, pattern, texture, and color--Design: The Elements defines each element and illustrates its use across a wide variety of disciplines, including architecture, art, clothing, interiors, and landscape. Combining traditional examples with a few creative choices--professional models on a catwalk, a nursery school, and even the family dog--the program is accompanied by an outline of the main points, a worksheet, and five assignments which call for participants to apply the principles covered in the presentation. The winning combination of fast pacing and the colorful examples should catch and hold the interest of classroom viewers, while the excellent price will make this attractive to educators. Recommended. A companion volume, Design: The Principles, is also available at the same price. Aud: I, J, H. (S. Fisher)
