This document outlines the requirements for Project 1 of an introductory design course. It is divided into two parts. Part 1A asks students to individually sketch 10 examples of design elements found in nature and the built environment, along with one abstract artwork exploring elements of design. Students must paste explanation pages identifying the elements behind each sketch. Part 1B will focus on familiarizing design principles through composing simple artworks using everyday items. The project aims to help students recognize and apply design elements and principles. It will be assessed based on demonstrated understanding of elements, clarity of explanations, and originality/quality of artwork.
