Principles of Design Classroom Posters and Décor for Art Classroom

These Principles of Design Posters are minimalist, clear reference posters for your art classroom. Each poster shows one principle of design with a graphic, so students have an easy visual reference on the wall.

The posters are 8.5 x 11 and come in a warm color scheme. There are 2 versions of each poster, one with the title and graphic only and one with the title, definition and graphic, so you can choose what suits your room. Just print and your classroom décor is ready.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

• Version 2: title, definition and graphic

HOW TO USE IT

Print the posters at 8.5 x 11. For added thickness and a more professional result, print them on cardstock, or print onto photo paper for a shiny surface. Laminate them so they last, or put each one in an 8.5 x 11 frame (garage sale frames with a coat of spray paint work too).

Use them as examples when you teach the principles of design, and as a display your students can refer to all year.
