Apply the stages of the design process (research, idea development, planning, production) to create an original artwork that communicates a clear message about their chosen subject.
Select and use appropriate tools, materials, and techniques (drawing, painting, collage, or mixed media) to produce an artwork that reflects a specific time period or cultural tradition.
