Color
This poster could be used in the classroom to help teach the concept of color. The circle of flowers represents the color wheel and because they are not labeled with each name, teachers could interact with their students asking them questions about each color and what or where they are (i.e. What color is in between blue and violet; a tertiary color called blue-violet). The grass on this poster in interactive with the students as well because just looking at it the grass appears to be all one shade of green, but if you flip the grass down it reveals a value scale where you can see the progression from lightest to darkest using green as the initial mixing color.
Line
This poster represents all different types of line in art. One of the most basic types of line, that may even go unnoticed in this poster is the outline. The tree, the bee hive, and the word 'line' are both outlined in black. In the brown base part of the tree, many different types are lines are shown, and they are not labeled so students could try and guess what types of lines are shown. The bumble bees are drawn with line as well and the dashed line behind them shows implied line of where they bees have traveled across the paper.
Shape
This poster represents shape, and on it shows three different areas. The poster also defines the words shape and form, explaining the difference. There are multiple examples of form, geometric shapes, and organic shapes. Teachers could use this poster as a visual aid to explain and show the difference between shape and form. because the shapes and forms are not labeled, they could ask their students to name which shape or form is represented on the poster.
Space
This poster is used to space, and why it is an important part of art. The hearts on this poster represent positive space and negative space, and below each of these are the definitions. The sun and clouds on this poster represent overlapping because it is supposed to show that because part of the sun is hidden, it should appear that the sun is behind the clouds. The ocean picture represents both size variation and overlapping. The pink fish show that larger the fish is, the closer it should appear to the eye. Overlapping is represented in the different colored waves and the sun siting behind the ocean.
Texture
This poster could be used by a teacher to teach his or her students about texture. There are six different objects that all haver different textures, and by feeling these objects, students may be able to better understand what that word means. A gift card to Graucho's Deli is smooth because it is a flat piece of plastic. The white square below is a sheet of a lint roller, and when you touch it, you can feel the stickiness of the paper. This piece would have to be replaced over time, because it would lose stickiness, but that would be fairly easy to do. The cotton balls represent fluffy because they are like clouds. The brown square is a piece of cardboard ripped in half, and you can feel the grooves in it. This represents bumpy. The Coastal square represents squishy, and when you touch it, you hand can make an imprint, but it will go back to its original form when removed. The group of pennies are the texture hard because you can feel that the are hard and will not bend if pushed on.
