We decided to challenge our group with a study of elements of design. Each month we randomly selected a primary, secondary or tertiary color from a 12 step color wheel. We then included one randomly selected design element: line, space, color/value shape or texture as well as one design principle: balance, contrast, focal point, gradation, harmony, movement, proportion, repetition or variety. Our study could be produced in any textile or technique, provided it was 2 dimensional and measured 8″ X 8″
