The previous unit encouraged students to explore where ideas for art expressions came from, and to make decisions about ideas for their own expressions.
All art works have their own sense of order and composition.
All artists make decisions about how to compose their ideas, whether they work formally or rely on random occurrences. This unit focuses on how artists put things together for a purpose. Through interaction with art and the study of art works and visual images, students will begin to understand and use ideas from other artists and art forms. This unit presents some of the principles and concepts used by artists in executing their ideas for art works. In studying artists' works it will become increasingly more evident that many artists use harmonies deliberately in their work.
