Stage 1 – Desired Results Content Standard(s): Art 1- Color Reduction Lino prints Students will make complex judgments about the elements and principles of art. Students will evaluate and justify design concepts. 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 2D 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. -Understand how to plan their individual color layers to produce the desired effect. - Properly label and identify an artist proof. 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 -Prior Art 1 projects -Basic design knowledge TEKS objectives: -elevate and justify design ideas and concepts to create a personal body of work. -create original artwork to communicate thoughts, feelings, ideas, or impressions. -compare and contrast the principles of design, including emphasis, repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion, and unity, in personal artwork.
