What? In class and from the text book we learned about the different elements and principals of art (line, shape, color, value, texture, space. Balance, rhythm, dominance, proportion, emphasis, and unity). We also learned about the color wheel as well as the difference between a shade, tint, and tone.
So What? It's important to know what the different elements and principles of art are and how to apply them because it will help while making an art piece but it would also help me on other things that I would create for an assignment or a classroom. For example, knowing how color schemes work together would help me to design an aesthetically pleasing bulletin board, or welcome letter.
Now What? It's important to know the correct terminology for words related to art so that when I teach my future students I'll be able to teach them correctly. If I don't understand the words myself I won't be able to effectively teach my students and to help them realize how it applies to them. It's important to help students understand art so that they can progress in their own artistic abilities. Also, when you teach students art it helps them in other academic areas as well. It helps them to think outside of the box and use their creativity different ways.
