VISUAL ELEMENTS IN EDUCATION

The use of visual elements in education is very important because it help us to design different material in a class.

Educational system have the necessity to provide students a well prepared class full of these visual elements in order to catch their attention in the class. Students can use this material to create a presentation, show examples in different topics that requires their use or even an exam, at least teachers use these elements to provide students better examples for a clear and concise answer.

So, how can we use visual elements like: point, line, shape, color, texture, movement, space and value in education?

Everything around us are expressive lines. Color and texture are what tells us what we have. All things start with lines, as well as straight lines and circumferences, which is enough to give them color and textures to obtain an object or a shape. This is the principle of education at any educational level. Nature gives us a variety of expressive objects that carry among themselves the visual elements that are: POINT, LINE, SHAPE, TEXTURE, SPACE, MOTION, VALUE AND COLOR.


LINES

We can use lines to separate topics in a class, to underline correct answers in an exam or even to draw a person or some objects.

POINT

We can use point to coordinate things. This can be made by joining two elements that have connection.

SHAPE

We can use shapes to identify some objects in the classroom or we can use it in a presentation about countries around the world or some figures that represent something significative in a subject.

TEXTURE

We can use textures to create a collage about a topic or as a background for a power point presentation in a class.

SPACE

We can use space to separate information about different topics, something that let us take a look about what is around us.

MOTION

We can use motion to understand a topic of any subject and give continuity to an already developed topic. In other words: Something we are seeing without taking our eyes off that image.

VALUE

We can use value to contrast and give more sense and a truly meaning to you want to express and understand. We use here a light and dark color.

COLOR

We can use color to identify everything that surrounds us. Colors are expressive so much in the emotional, visual and material because this is the way to make known what we have.
