Design 101
Objectives
WE WILL:
Recognize and Identify the Elements & Principles of Design through examining other Theatrical Design works.
I WILL:

TEKS Technical Theatre 1
2.A recognize the function of tech. elements in various theatrical styles & genres;
2.E define creativity as it relates to personal expression in technical theatre and design;
5.C recognize the design and technical elements of theatre as an art form and evaluate self as a creative being;
5.G use technology to communicate and present findings in a clear and coherent manner.
ASSIGNMENT | Students appropriately critique Theatrical Design shown to them. | Students create their own designs to reflect the appropriate Elements and Principles shown. | Student analyzed and identified the Principles and Elements of Design in their work. | Students appropriately use Google Slides to share their responses and examples of understanding of the Principles and Elements of Design. |
Demonstrates Superior Individual Understanding and Application (5) | Student correctly analyzes the appropriate Element and Principle, while examining and using details from the examples given. | Student creates their own example of the appropriate Elements and Principle. | Student appropriately identifies the Element and Principles with their own examples. | Student has completed all of slides regarding the Elements and Principles. |
Demonstrates Individual Understanding and Application (4) | Student analyzes some of the Elements and Principles, while using some details from the examples given. | Student finds their own examples of the Elements and Principles. | Student identifies the majority of the Element and Principles with their own examples correctly. | Student has completed the majority of the slides regarding the Elements and Principles. |
Demonstrates Understanding and Application Inconsistently (3) | Student analyzes a some of the Elements and Principles, not using details from the examples given. | Student finds their own examples that are somewhat appropriate for the corresponding Element and Principle. | Student identifies some of the Elements and Principles with their own examples appropriately. | Student has completed some of slides regarding the Elements and Principles. |
Demonstrates Minimal Understanding or Application (2) | Student acknowledges a few of the Elements and Principles. | Student finds their own examples that correspond to a few of the Elements and Principles. | Student identifies a few of the Elements and Principles with their own examples. | Student has completed a few of the slides regarding the Elements and Principles. |
Demonstrates Lack of Understanding or Application (1) | Student did not write. | Student did not find examples. | Student did not identify. | Student did not complete work. |
