WORKSHEET 1.

Ethereal Symphony of Crafted Beauty

In the hands of artisans, a dance takes flight,

Medium whispers secrets, a canvas of light.
Techniques weave tales with skilled finesse,
A masterpiece born, a creation to impress.
 Elements join forces, a visual embrace,
Lines and shapes, in harmonious grace.
Organic or geometric, a delicate choice,
A symphony of forms, each with its voice.

Space, an illusion, a mysterious game,

Real or implied, it's never the same.
Positive and negative, in silent discourse,
In the artist's realm, dimensions take force.

Colors explode in a vibrant spree,

Hues and tones in rhythmic glee.
Textures touch, both real and veiled,
In the tactile journey, emotions hailed.

Planes and perspective, a visual trance,

Lines converging, a mesmerizing dance.
Principles guide, in balance and play,
Unity and variety, in an artful array.

Repetition and pattern, a visual song,

A chorus of elements, where they belong.
In this crafting of beauty, both near and far,
Medium and technique, the artisans' star.
