background



  • Pictures of the original files used to create a template

  • Explain your template using the art terms we learned from the powerpoint.

-What type of lines of symmetry did you use (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)


The lines of symmetry i used were horizontal


- What type of color scheme did you choose for your template? For example, are they complementary colors or analogous based on the color wheel?


Based on the color wheel they were complementary colors. I used greens yellow and beige, and also brown.


- Are there parts of your template that show movement? If so, how?


N/A


- How did you use color? (there were 5 ways from your notes that are possibilities)


I used it to decorate. I made a tiki kind of theme. and i saw the flower and added more yellow to the color.


- Is there a use of texture? Explain.

Yes i smudged the parrot into my background.

- How did you use balance? (whitespace vs filled space; textures vs flat colors; text vs images)

I used a flat color as my background. the bamboo for example and then the text was easier to read.

- How is unity used used in your template?

It is all based around a general theme that i had being tripical and it turned out ok.

  4. What a nice background Sarah! LOVE the peacock! Very very cool. Brings some sort of balance to your name area, except there is very little connection with the rest of the template. I like the bamboo in the background. It gave the template a nice texture to it. I am not a huge fan of the suitcase, but that is the only problem I have with your layout. Very well done little one!
