Construction
(25-30) Vessel and attachments are extremely wellconstructed. Few to no cracks with all elements securely
attached. Construction is extremely neat with little
evidence of slip or scoring. Surface is thoughtfully
textured, depending on the concept. Clay is not too thick
or it is hollowed out appropriately. Name or stamp is
clearly marked on sculptural vessel.
(19-24)Vessel and attachments are somewhat wellconstructed, though with some cracking or not all
elements are securely attached. Construction is mostly
neat but with some evidence of slip or scoring. Surface
may lack thoughtful texture. Clay is too thick or thin in
areas, or it is not hollowed out appropriately. Name is
marked on sculptural vessel.
(less than 19) Many cracks in sculptural vessel, possibly
with elements having fallen off. Too much slip or scoring
is evident. Clay too thick or thin, or areas are not
hollowed out. Overall, construction needs significant
improvement.
Ceramics 1: Sculptural Vessel
Creativity
(25-30) Student’s concept is extremely
thoughtful and transformative. Student
demonstrates a high level of realism in the
sculptural additions, whether on the surface
or the handle. Vessel is extremely well
crafted, with a consistent shape. Overall,
student challenged him/herself.
(19-24) Student’s concept is somewhat
thoughtful, though may lack a bit of
complexity or originality. Student
demonstrates a moderate level of realism in
the sculptural additions, whether on the
surface or the handle. Vessel is mostly well
crafted but with some irregularities or with a
very basic shape.
(less than 19) More creativity and/or
originality encouraged. Student did not
challenge him/herself enough, attempting a
very simplistic form.
