Somewhat surreal in content. Although there are elements that are juxtaposed together it is subtle.
Little care has been taken to learn and develop the use of media. Four magazine images used.
While some images are well cut out others are not.
Paint is applied inconsistently: some areas might flow well around collage but other areas are sloppy and overlap paper.
Okay composition. Four of the principles listed are used well in the artwork.

Critique
Very weak composition. Two or less principles listed have been used in the artwork.
The back of your image includes a story that clearly narrates the surrealistic narrative in your image. A creative title that is thought provoking has been given.
Excellent craftsmanship.
The image is polished and finished looking.
The student gave informative feedback. S/he spoke 5+ times.
The back of your image includes the story behind your image. A title that illuminates what your image is about has been assigned to this work.
Good craftsmanship.
There may be a few places that you could polish the artwork.
The student gave good feedback. S/he spoke 4 times.
The back of your image includes a story, but it does not fully explain your image. A title has been given to your work, but it may not add meaning to your collage.
Okay craftsmanship. It seems a little rushed.
The student gave okay feedback. S/he spoke 3-4 times.
Either you included a story that explains your artwork OR included a title for your artwork that DOES add meaning to your work, but you did not do both.
Poor craftsmanship.
Much more attention to details needed to be made.
The student gave poor advice or s/he spoke 1-
2 times.
Either you included a story about your artwork OR you included a title for your work; however, neither explain or add meaning to your artwork.
Extremely poor craftsmanship. Did you do this in five minutes?
The student gave very little in the way of feedback & spoke just once.
