Art 5.1
Foundations: observation and perception. The student develops and expands visual literacy skills using critical thinking, imagination, and the senses to observe and explore the world by learning about, understanding, and applying the elements of art, principles of design, and expressive qualities. The student uses what the student sees, knows, and has experienced as sources for examining, understanding, and creating artworks. The student is expected to:
- (1) develop and communicate ideas drawn from
life experiences about self, peers, family, school, or community and from
the imagination as sources for original works of art;
- (A) use appropriate vocabulary when discussing the elements of art, including line, shape, color, texture, form, space, and value, and the principles of design, including emphasis, repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion, and unity; and
- (B) discuss the elements of art as building blocks and the principles of design as organizers of works of art.
