The principles of visual art are things I never really thought about when I looked at a picture. I think even more than the elements, the principles of visual art are what draw you into a picture. They create the focus, the movement and rhythm of a picture. By understanding the principles when you look at a picture you are able to see what the artist is trying to focus on and have you see. Children's book illustrators, are a good way to introduce the principles, I think because lot of them exaggerate the principles making it easy to see what is happening in the pictures.
To prepare to teach first I need to know the principles. Second when teaching about a certain principle I can find artists that use that principle and teach that to my students. By being familiar with the principles and the illustrators it will make teaching simpler.
Elements of visual art are important to me and my students because it will help then to draw people into there art. It will teach them to emphasize what they want in a picture and create a scene.
