construction techniques;
excellent dimensions and
proportions. Sturdy and
balanced construction.
Overall Impact
Exceptional overall impact
of design; incorporation of
found objects results in
interesting textures and
shapes; unified in overall
design. Exemplary
Exceptional use of colors &
color mixing; harmonious
color scheme evident in
either assembled objects or
painted surface.
-Successful design
-Use of mixed media
-Finish of sculpture
Color Harmony/Surface
Application if needed.
-Object colors are balanced
-Paint colors are harmonious
Work Process:
Craftsmanship
-Well built, sturdy
construction and assemblage
-Neat surface application
Time Management

on task
Proficient
3
Adequate use of time
given to research,
Investigation and
gathering of found
objects is evident
Satisfactory design;
Assemblage of found
objects shows some
individuality.
Robotic style
Little use of time given to
research; poor research
on found object sculpture.
Little effort on finding
unique objects.
Typical solution to design;
Literal approach to
assemblage of found
objects. Somewhat
robotic in style. Too literal
Misuse of time given to
research; off-task work;
little evidence of research.
Used objects only from
art room. No effort.
No design development is
evident. Random
assemblage of found
objects. No resemblance
to robotic stylization.

2
More practice needed
with assemblage and
construction techniques
to create dimensional and
proportional sculpture.
may be unstable and
unbalanced.
Design results in minimal
visual impact; mediocre
use of found objects; little
attention to details and
finishing touches.

3
Successfully engages in
neat, accurate
construction &
assemblage methods;
adequate attention to
craftsmanship and
surface applications.
Sturdy.
most often shows
independent and on task
work
(4) Advanced
Above and beyond stated
criteria
Novice
1
Adequate assemblage
and construction
techniques; Attention to
dimension and
proportion is evident.
Adequate balance and
sturdiness.
Successful impact of
sculpture design;
incorporation of found
objects results in
satisfactory textures and
shapes. Satisfactory.
Adequate use of color
mixing; harmonious
color scheme is evident
in either assembled
objects or painted
surface of sculpture
Craftsmanship is
consistently of high quality;
attention to quality
construction & assemblage;
well-built & sturdy
sculpture. Very neat
surface application (paint)
consistently works
independently & remains
on task
Partially Proficient

(3) Proficient
Achieved criteria but needs
more attention
Poor color choices in
either assembled objects
or painted surface.
Some attempts at color
harmony. Mediocre.
1
Inadequate use of
assemblage and
construction techniques;
lacks dimension; fragile
design- not balanced.
Poor attachments.
Design results in poor
visual impact; Found
objects randomly used
resulting in weak final
design. no attention to
finish of sculpture
No attention to color
choices; colors chosen at
random with assembled
objects or painted surface
of sculpture. Careless
2
1
Poor attention to
construction &
assemblage methods.
inconsistent quality in
craftsmanship and
surface applications.
Wobbly sculpture
Lack of awareness to
careful construction &
assemblage methods. No
attention to craftsmanship
and surface applications.
incomplete project.
Sculpture is falling apart.
Inconsistent independent
work; distracted from on
task work
Inconsistent independent
work; easily distracted
from on task work
