In this activity, you will apply what you have learned about the basic artistic elements in subunit 4.1.  You will select a realistic artistic composition and reduce it down to its most basic artistic elements.

· First, select a piece of artwork from the list of provided repositories/sources of artwork, and save an image of the artwork to your computer.

· The artwork you select should be “realistic,” so choose a photograph or a photorealistic painting, most likely. Otherwise, please choose an artwork that incorporates many of the artistic elements you learned about in subunit 4.1.

· Next, use a computer program like Microsoft Paint or use pen/pencil and paper to re-create a simplified version of the image.

· Your new image should distill or reduce the original composition into its most basic art elements, that is, points, lines, shapes, and shading.

· Then save your new image or take a photograph of your new image and save that to your computer.

· Upload both saved files to using the file upload box below the text box.

· Finally, in the text box, provide a few sentences about what image you chose and your experience of reducing the image down to its basic art elements.

· Be sure to include a line indicating the Terms of Use and/or copyright information for your work!
