• The Artist's Toolkit - The Artist's Toolkit from The Minneapolis Institute of Arts offers the chance to explore the principles and elements of art such as line, color, space, shape, balance, movement and rhythm by watching an animated demonstration, finding examples of the concept in works of art from museums, and creating your own composition.
• A Brush with Wildlife - Creating a composition is one of the most exciting and challenging aspects facing an artist. How do you use art principles like balance, contrast, movement, and proportion to compose a powerful work of art? Carl Rungius, a wildlife artist, was fascinated with composition throughout his career. What can we learn from him as we make our own compositions? Introduce yourself to the animated principles of art, then create your own composition and submit it to the Critique Gallery for review!
