Design elements_Typography Typography is arguably one of the biggest foundations of design. Type says a lot (sometimes literally) and the way you choose to execute your type, whether a heading or some body copy says even more. Encouraging children to create typography through pictures helps with typography design.

Contrast is often the magical key ingredient to making your designs ‘pop’, which is a (sometimes frustrating) demand from many design clients. In a very basic definition, contrast is the degree of difference between two elements of your design. Some common forms of contrast are dark vs. light, thick vs. thin, large vs. small, etc. It is a good idea to teach children contrast by drawing different pictures using the strength of the brush strokes.
Design elements_Transparency Transparency, also known as 'opacity', describes how 'transparent' an element is. A lower opacity makes the element lighter and less obtrusive, while a higher opacity makes the element more solid. Bubbles are great for explaining transparency to children and getting them to create. After selecting the color to create the bubble, use the cap to express the bubble in the shape of a circle.
Design elements_Symmetry As species, human beings are scientifically proven to be drawn to symmetry. We find symmetrical faces, patterns and designs generally more attractive, effective and beautiful. Symmetry is used a lot in logos in order to create a harmonious and balanced design. There's nothing like folding art to easily explain the concept of symmetry to children. Let's make a butterfly according to the above process.
Design elements_Negative space To put it bluntly, negative space is the ‘space inbetween’, the area between or around other elements that form its own shape
The best way to help children understand negative space is through hand-drawn trees. Place your hand on the paper and color the outside of your hand to complete the leaves of the tree. |
