Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learned to identify and apply the principles of design—emphasis, repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion, and unity—in their own artworks. They practiced using art vocabulary to describe these principles and discussed how artworks express meaning and messages through design choices. By creating, reflecting, and sharing their artworks, students developed stronger visual literacy and creative expression skills aligned with TEKS standards.

Learning Goals

• Apply these principles in creating personal artworks using appropriate art vocabulary.
