Use of Materials
 Overall neatness o Pencil/ruler o Sharpie o Markers o Color pencil o Crayons
Understanding art terms and concepts
 Block letters
 Perspective
 Value
 Shapes/patterns
 Color scheme: warm and cool colors
Effort
th
Scratchy pencil and Sharpie lines
Sloppy, scratchy marker, colored pencil, and crayon coloring
White space left within letters and on background
Value is uneven or missing specific shades
Inconsistent letters- too round or pointy letters, some thin
Too many or too few perspective lines and many lines not meeting vanishing point
Value is backwards or missing
Random shapes/lines
No color scheme used or colors are mixed
Little or no effort. Did not use time wisely. Rushed through project.
Straight pencil lines and curves
Black outlines
Colored letters with markers
Uneven value shading- scratchy
Some white space left after crayon coloring
Light crayon coloring in some areas
Some inconsistency among block letters
Some perspective lines and some do not meet the vanishing point
Use of value is uneven or backwards
Shapes/lines in the background, but not a distinct pattern
Colors chosen sometimes do not follow warm/cool color scheme
Some effort. Did not use all class times wisely. Needs to slow down or have more consideration for project.
Straight pencil lines with ruler and smooth curves
Smooth/even black sharpie lines
Proper marker coloring on letters
Proper demonstration of value- light, medium, and dark shades
Hard/solid crayon coloring
White space covered in background and letters
No scratchiness
Even, thick, consistent block letters
Correct perspective lines all connecting to one vanishing point in the center
Dark values at the point to show
“shadows” and light values at the letters to show the light source
Geometric and organic shapes to create a pattern in the background
Correct colors to demonstrate warm or cool colors on the letters and the opposite for the background
Good effort. Used class time wisely. Took time on the project.
Very straight pencil lines with ruler and very smooth curves
Smooth/even black sharpie lines with no smears or bleeding
Smooth, even marker coloring on letters
Smooth value transitions- light, medium, and dark shades
Hard/solid crayon coloring
All white space covered in background and letters
No scratchiness
Extremely even, thick, consistent block letters
Proper amount and execution of perspective lines all connecting to one vanishing point in the center
Dark values at the point to show
“shadows” evenly blended into the light values at the letters to show the light source
One cohesive pattern made of geometric/organic shapes and/or lines in the background
Correct, consistent colors to demonstrate warm or cool colors on the letters and the opposite for the background
Excellent effort. Used time efficiently and effectively on assignment. Took great care and time on the project.
