Benchmarks/Content Standards: Specific Product/Performance: General Rubric for Painting Project Criteria Scale

COMPOSITION Student's composition displays balance of the overall Elements of Design (line, space, shape, color, value, texture)

COLOR THEORY Student has clearly applied a color scheme: (ie., monochromatic, analogous, primary, secondary, tertiary, neutral, complementary, split complementary, warm, cool)

PARTICIPATION Student asks/answers questions; is clearly involved with project from start to finish (on task); responsible for clean-up.

CRAFTSMANSHIP Student displays proper application of paint according to style instructed by teacher to mimic. The overall painting is free from smudges, "dog ears" and tears.

4

Student's work is highly effective when balancing the Elements of Design Applicable

Student's work is highly effective in defining a clear color scheme; Colors within the scheme mix with one another to create values or in the case of flat application, the colors are used throughout

Student's participation is highly effective; everyday working dilegently

Student's craftsmanship is highly effective

3

Student's work is effective when balancing the Elements of Design Applicable; 1 element may need to be worked into (ie., variety of value not clearly defined but other elements have been balanced)

Student's work is effective in displaying color scheme, there is a dominance of some colors but may have neglected some areas. (ie. using black for shadows instead of overlapping color)

Student's participation is effective; may be asked once to "get back to work"

Student's craftsmanship is effective (some minute areas of carelessness)

2

Student's work is moderately effective when balancing the Elements of Design Applicable (2-3 elements need to be adjusted)

Student's work is moderately effective in displaying a color scheme. The student can name the scheme he/she has chosen but is uncertain how to mix the colors so there is a dominance

Student's participation is moderately effective; is sporadic but participates more than not

Student's craftsmanship is moderately effective, some areas could have adjusted for a better appearance.
