5. What 2 Analogies do we use to describe the relationship between the elements of art & the principles of design?

6. Rhythm
Shows movement through the repetition of elements and objects

7. Asymmetrical Balance
One half of the work is not a mirror image of the other half, but is still balanced on both sides; both sides have the same “visual weight”

8. Proportion
Refers to how parts of a work relate to each other and to the whole

Unity

Art matters

This principle refers to a way of combining elements to add a feeling of stability (or equilibrium) to a work of art.

13. Harmony
Combining similar elements of art to accent their similarities

Envision: Learning to picture mentally what cannot be directly observed, heard or written and to imagine possible next steps in making a piece.
Express: Learning to create works that convey an idea, feeling or personal meaning.
Observe: Learning to attend to visual, audible and written contexts more closely than ordinary “looking” requires; Learning to notice things that otherwise might not be noticed.
Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about one’s work and the process of making it. Learning to judge one’s own and others’ work and processes in relation to the standards of the field.
Stretch & Explore: Learning to reach beyond one’s supposed limitations, to explore playfully without a preconceived plan and to embrace the opportunity to learn from mistakes and accidents.
Understand Art World: Learning about the history and practice of the art form. Interacting with other artists and the broader arts community

Exist as a counter against mass produced media
Are an exciting way to engage others in a topic that matters to you

Zines have been used to entertain, educate, inspire, empower, raise awareness, build advocacy & create movements around important issues.

Started in the 1920s in the US in response to science fiction magazines
Fans used to write letters to the magazines, then eventually started writing their own ideas and mailed them to each other
The term was coined in an 1940 science fiction fanzine.

35. Socially Engaged Zines
The zine will consist of 8 pages (folded up from one large paper), including a front cover, back cover and 6 pages of content. You will be creating the covers and pages using a combination of words, images, photos, drawings, doodles, charts, etc. to creatively communicate your theme or idea. Each page should be unique and original and communicate some aspect of your theme or idea. You may choose to have adjacent pages go together to create one spread, or you may design each page separately. Avoid filling a page with just text, but include it creatively to fill in the details that your images leave out. Think of each page as an opportunity to say a little more about your topic so that by the end of the zine, your reader/viewer has learned something, been inspired, challenged, empowered, and has an idea of what they could do to help the problem or issue.
