Activating Space in 3D & Laying out a planned composition

Composition, Elements & Principles, Color Theory

Composition = Rule of thirds, 3/4 view, in-the-round, freestanding, relief,
positive/negative space
Elements and Principles = Vocabulary, understanding, and usage in artwork
Color Theory = Color schemes, Color mixing techniques: tints, shades, dull,
and Color as meaning
Create Several sculptures throughout the year that cover each compositional
style
as listed above.
Whats the Angle?: Photography focus on rule of 3rds and view
No Emphasis: Creating sculpture with no definite front or back
In a Hole: Design a form where negative space is the emphasis
Ratios: Study height, depth, width ratios of popular sculpture
Big Deal: Investigate color and public art

Art TEKS such as Digital, Painting, and Printmaking will be considered all inclusive TEKS. Painting and Printmaking will be seen as
ways of handling surface on three-dimensional objects and therefore will not have their own units. Similarly, the Digital TEKS will
be met on each assignment as students will use software to create, manipulate, and document their work digitally.
