I will apply structural techniques to create a stable container form.
I will analyze and choose materials based on desired thickness, texture, and structural outcome.
I will use fiber art vocabulary correctly in discussion, critique, and self-reflection.
I will create an original sculptural container that demonstrates creativity, planning, and problem-solving.
