Stage 1 – Desired Results
Content Standard(s):
Ceramics- Mask
Students will create an original mask derived from both imagination and a provided “mystery object”
Students will understand and create a personal “hump” mold
Students will increase technical and critical thinking through an understanding of process, concept and
application.
Students will develop self-critique and evaluation skills.
Understanding (s)/goals
Students will understand that:
-Visual design is important in a dynamic work of art
-Fully thought out processes are critical in the
construction of multistep projects.
- Direct observation is necessary in the artwork
conceptualization/construction process.
Essential Question(s):
-What makes a good design?
-Why is design important in a 3D composition?
-How does the addition of complexity aid in the
success of design?
Student objectives (outcomes):
Students will be able to:
-Understand there are different responses to a given problem.
-Alter their original concept to allow for a new material, while still maintaining a cohesive structure.
-Experiment with personal symbols and adaptation of observed objects.
-Comfortably discuss and compare their work with other students.
Performance Task(s):
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Other Evidence:
-Student will apply media, techniques, and
processes with sufficient skill, confidence, and
sensitivity that their intentions are carried out in
their artworks.
-Complexity/Craftsmanship
-Critique
-Prior Ceramic projects
-Basic design knowledge
-Structural understanding and application
TEKS objectives:
-consider concepts and themes for personal
artwork that integrates an extensive range of
visual observations, experiences, and
imagination.
-compare and contrast the principles of design,
including emphasis, repetition/pattern,
movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance,
proportion, and unity, in personal artwork.
-analyze visual characteristics of natural and
human-made
subjects
in a variety of ways, illustrating flexibility in
solving problems, creating multiple solutions,
and thinking imaginatively.
-create original artwork to communicate
thoughts, feelings, ideas, or impressions.
-use response to artwork critiques to make
decisions about future directions in personal
work.
-evaluate and analyze artwork using a method
of critique such as describing the artwork,
analyzing the way it is organized, interpreting
the artist intention, and evaluating the
success of the artwork.
