The Elements of Art

The Elements of Art By: Kem Kowa My life has evolved through gathering memories from living in the Midwest, among the blue skies, cornfields, and flowing rivers. I earned a Bachelors Degree of Science from Millikin University and an Associate of Art Degree from Richland Community College. As an artist, I have filled my space painting with oils, acrylics, and watercolors. The foundation of my style has always been guided by pencil sketching. I have pursued a career of designing and creating greeting cards. I have taught children to develop their art skills using the principles described in The Elements of Art. I have concluded… that if you give a child a piece of paper, a pencil, a line example, enclose the line and fill it with color… a work of art will be created. The Elements of Art were written for children so that they can learn to fill their space and create art.
