        For this project, I used pictures to show the elements and principles of design and displayed them in a powerpoint.  These are my five best photos from the powerpoint.  An activity for your students to do after presenting the powerpoint could be having them look around the classroom and even the school for examples that show the elements and principles of design.  If you are teaching these in upper classes the students could go out into the town and take pictures of each of elements and principles they see around them for a project.  They could create a display board or a book that displays all their pictures showing each of the elements and principles of design.
