Hello potters,
Yup, it is practice time again; using the Elements and Principles. Take a look at the bowl below. Tell me in detail what 3 Elements and 2 Principles match this ceramic piece most closely.
Homework is due Friday, March 23.

In this bowl the 3 elements are line, shape, and color. There are several lines in the bowls; every single leaf is defined by lines. The shapes are almost all triangle minus the middle circle. The color in this bowl shows different types of shading and contrast. 2 principles in the bowl are movement and pattern. The movement of the bowl starts off with looking on the outskirts of the leaf and then to the middle circle. There is also a pattern with how the leafs are repeating and how their lines are very similar.
lines,texture and form. some of the lines are angles so they apear like a real leaf.the lines ion the leaves giveit a stimulated texture. form the laring of the leaves gives it that depth.
The artist of this piece uses different shades of the secondary color green. The leaves are organic shapes and the circle in the center is a geometric shape. Lines are placed at specific angles to create a realistic texture of leaves to this piece.The color contrast is very soft.This piece is asymmetrical
An element that goes well with this piece is color. The main color is green but there are different shades of green. All of the green have a cool tint to them and are dull. Another element is line. Inside of the leaves there are vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. Form is another element that goes with this piece. This piece definitely has more width than height. I also noticed there is much layering to the leaves. A principle that is relevant to this piece is pattern. There are rows of leaves and each row has a certain shade of green to it. It goes from lighter to darker leaves as it goes down. Emphases is another principle. The circle in the middle with the leaf on it is what is most emphasized because it is the lightest part of the piece and it is in the center.
I’m going to start of right away with what may seem to be the obvious- shape. But now I begin to contradict the automatic reaction of saying there are organic shapes. Honestly, I see much more geometric shapes. The circle surrounding the center leaf, and even the leaf and the outside leaves, seem pretty geometric- like rounded triangles honestly, or more angular ovals. I’ll follow this up with line I suppose. The lines placed on the leaves themselves are at different diagonals, but they all have pretty much and same thickness and design- they’re all just straight lines. As for color, they’re all cool. All shades of green, and the nice neutral gray center. Now with balance, the bowl is pretty much symmetrical. There is a little flower on one side, that’s not on the other, but that aside, its pretty much symmetrical- which I like. With movement- I’m drawn right away to the light center, and then move onto the leaf inside of it, then from there I’m drawn to the first layer of leaves, that are the same shade as the center leaf, and from there am drawn further into each of the layers, and then back out, following the shape of the bowl.
Elements- In the picture of the pottery piece there is a great use of line throughout the piece. The leafs have somewhat straight and curvy lines making them look like leafs. The way the leafs are shaped have a curvy line to them and the leaf in the center has a straight line right down the middle. The piece also has a great use of secondary colors of green and different shades of it they are sort of warm and cool colored greens. The texture of the piece looks like you can feel the lines in the leafs so I think it would have a smooth texture, but with bumps or indents where the lines are. It also might have a rough look to someone who looks at the piece for its dimensions which in the case it would be rough because of the leafs and how they form the piece. Principles- The balance of the piece in my opinion is based on the symmetrical designs of the leafs and how they are almost perfectly put around the piece. The lines in the leaves are also symmetrical and they match almost all the leafs around the piece. There is also a pattern with the leafs as they continue to expand out making the piece the way it is. Like the three dimensional look one set of leafs are set one way than the next are turned a little. Than the next set is just like the first and so on making the pattern throughout the leaves.
Lines are one of the most significant elements, they are straight, horizontal and parallell. Another element is color they are all a shade of dull green color, the green color is a cool secondary color. The form of the bowl is also relevant. it has a three-dimensional form but there is definitely more width than depth or height. One of the most interesting principles is movement, in this bowl you start from the middle and work yourself out through all the different layers, another princaple is the emphasis on the middle of the bowl with the neutral white color and the green leaf in the middle, that is definitely the focal point of the bowl.
3 elements are line, shape, and color. Several different types of lines are used, the angles create the shape of the leaf, and the color is a variety of heavy and light. 2 principles are movement and pattern. My eye travels from the middle, and to the outside of the shape. Pattern is created as each leaf represents the same pattern.
