Focus on the principles of design with a wearable landscape art project. The plan provides definitions to share and art to examine. After students have a grasp of the principles, they draw a scene to eventually transfer onto a T-shirt. Individuals wear their shirts to show off their work while they present how they incorporated the principles and elements of design.
