Two Notes of Explanation: First: In this set of outcomes elements refers to the components from which artistic creations are formed - concepts like line, shape, value, color, texture, form, and space; principles refers to concepts used in the application of the elements - things like balance, variety (contrast), repetition (rhythm), emphasis, movement, and unity (harmony). Second: Those things contained in brackets [like these] are the student outcomes written in teacher language. This is done because primary level outcomes are written as nearly as possible for student understanding, which may exclude some details which teachers need to know.
