PERFORMANCE

Armature Manipulation, Material Constructions, Proportion

Manipulation = Wire bending, cutting, attachments, frameworks, and hump
molds
Construction = Wire wrapping techniques, paper and tape structure methods
for adding mass
Proportion = General proportion rules, parts to whole reference, adjusting form
in armature stage

ESTABLISHED GOALS

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.
