Exploring Principles of Design through Acrylics

Inclination towards Textures

As an architecture student since the past 7 years+ the scope of developing my artistic front has not been possible.in this project, Artists lab, I would like to enhance my skills and try my hands on the different medium. As a designer, we use artistic elements and principles to help create beautiful and effective designs. This mixed media painting series will make you more aware of those design principles. The project consists of 12 square sized paintings in mixed medium, mostly acrylic and different type of textures made with plaster of Paris, paper Mache etc. Here are the elements and principles which would be depicted in the paintings.

The basic elements of design are: 1.Line 2.Shape 3.Form 4.Space 5.Colour 6.Texture

The principles of design are: 1.Balance 2.Proportion and scale 3.Contrast 4.Repetition 5.pattern 6.Unity and harmony
