XIII.ArtTEKS
Knowledge and skills.
(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 original artwork. The student is expected to:

(A) analyze visual characteristics of sources to illustrate concepts,

demonstrate flexibility in solving problems, create multiple solutions, and
think imaginatively;

(B) compare and contrast the elements of art, including line, shape, color,
texture, form, space, and value, as the fundamentals of art in personal
artwork;

(C) compare and contrast the principles of design, including emphasis,

repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion,
and unity, in personal artwork; and

(D) explore the suitability of art media and processes and select those
appropriate to express specific ideas such as content, meaning, message,
and metaphor relating to visual themes to interpret the expressive qualities
of artwork.
