Assemblage: exterior box design
Lesson details
Learning outcome

Key learning points
- Artists might reflect on and evaluate their artwork before it is complete to make improvements to refine their work.
- Artists evaluate their work to help them reflect on their choices and become better artists over time.
- The surface design of an artwork is the process of decorating, altering, or adding texture to the surface.
Keywords
Evaluate - to look at something carefully to understand what is good about it, what could be better, and how it can be improved
Joining techniques - the different ways materials can be connected or fixed together
Surface design - the process of decorating, altering, or adding texture to the surface of a material or object
Common misconception
