Elements and Principles of Art

When searching for elements and principles of design, I looked around my own house looking for things to photograph. My family collects a lot of interesting things such as paintings and sculptures, and my mom is also an elementary school art teacher, so I am surrounded by art related objects. It was interesting because I never realized how almost all objects we see in every day life actually contain several elements and principles of art. Everything we encounter can be analyzed as art and most people do not realize this. When trying to come up with ideas for my photos, I would have an element or principle in mind and would quickly come across something in my house that pertained to that. Some principles were a little difficult, only because I think they require a little more thought behind them. They are not as obvious as elements such as color or line. This was a fun project for me to do, since it is nice to explore your surroundings that you usually overlook in everyday life.
