But, why?

Graphic organizers I created for my Graphics 1 students: 


Using the internet, they will find pictures and works of art that exemplify each element and principle that we have discussed in class.
 But, why?
Young designers, you and I both must know where your design decisions come from. I know they come from your heart because you love graphic design so much you took my class, but where else do they come from? Metaphorically speaking, it is imperative to learn the ingredients (elements) and the recipe (principles) to your perfectly baked cake (your creation). While I encourage the creative process to rely on your intuition, I also want it to make sense...to you...and to me.
Formly yours, Ms. Barnett
