Just suggestions - I'm not sure what you have done before I joined up:

Art
Textures
Signs / symbols

Janice

My suggestion is to do the "7 Elements of Art" This one would include your suggestions, Janice.
We would title our entry to show which Element is represented. The 7 Elements are:

1 Texture
2 Form (Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth)
3 Space (Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of the subject)
4 Line (As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines)
5 Shape (Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) in nature)
6 Color
7 Value (Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork. Black-and-white photography depends entirely on value to define its subjects. Value is directly related to contrast)

Since I suggested the September challenge, I'll go along with whatever you all decide.

All three good suggestions and all three fine with me for October.

I like the seven elements of art. Not sure I am going to participate but it looks really inviting.
Hmmmmm.

Value, I want VALUE for m participation!

I'm a newbie to the challenges so I'm not really sure how they're decided but I like the 7 Elements of Art. Janice's suggestion is a good one too. I think it the more options you have, the easier it is to get photos. What can I say? I'm lazy. :)

Reading Lynn's suggestions I say: "Go with them!"

I'm considering joining this group...... and I really like the idea of "7 Elements of Art"
Thanks,
Janet

Yes, I like these ideas too ~ the 7 elements of art.

7 elements of art sounds good... maybe tough but no reason one person can give input two months in a row if it is
good input we are just better off because of it..

Hello all,

Being French I do not find anywhere in the French references something from Masters speaking about "7 elements of art".
I'm curious, could you tell me who elaborated this list of 7 elements ?
Maybe, I'm so much ignorant..?!?

All my best,
Marielou

Hi Marielou! The elements are universal, for all art from all countries. Here is a little bit of information - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art
If you look in Google or some Internet search, you will find some information in French too. Let me know if I can help.
Hugs,
LYNN

In french, ce dont vous avez besoin, ce sont les éléments fondamentaux de l'art : la ligne, la forme, la valeur, la texture, la couleur et l'espace.
