Apply the Seven Visual Elements to Art: How Do You Organize and Harmonize Your Art?

We use art in all kinds of ways in our everyday lives, often without recognizing the thought process involved. For example, when we select paintings, sculpture, art artifacts, etc. to decorate our homes and office spaces, we are actually critiquing art. Often we go far beyond superficial questions, such as does the color of the artwork match the furniture in the room and the paint on the walls? Most often in our selections, we are addressing critical aspects of art, such as what does this piece of art mean to me and why?

In this final course assignment, you will select a piece of modern art from your textbook that you would like to hang on your wall at home or in your office, and then analyze your selection based on two of the seven visual elements.
