Create a direct observational cross contour still life drawingAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaDrawing shows a variety of line typesDrawing uses diagrammatic lines that assist to find symmetry, balance, placement, size, shape, and alignment of subjectsDrawing shows lines that describe edges of formsDrawing includes a minimum of five objectsDrawing shows forms overlapping in spaceDrawing shows accurate proportions of symmetrical objects and pitch of ellipsesDrawing displays subjects with varied formsDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Create a direct observational still life drawing of subjects using accumulated rendering techniques in graphiteAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaUse accumulated rendering techniques in graphiteDrawing depicts a minimum of five objectsDrawing shows forms overlapping in spaceDrawing shows volume created through the organization of value, using the six properties of light and shadowDrawing displays subjects that are described by areas of value that define the edges of forms without the use of outlinesDrawing shows accurate proportions of symmetrical objects and pitch of ellipsesDrawing shows effective use of accumulated shading techniques in graphiteDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Create a direct observational still life drawing of subjects using charcoal rendering methodsAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaUse charcoal rendering methodsDrawing depicts a minimum of five objectsDrawing displays subjects that are described by areas of value that define the edges of forms without the use of outlineDrawing shows accurate proportions of symmetrical objects and pitch of ellipsesDrawing shows a clear understanding of volume created through the organization of value, using the six properties of light and shadowDrawing shows an organization of value to show a sense of depthDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Create a linear perspective drawingAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaDifferentiate one-point and two-point linear perspectiveDrawing displays effective use of a single horizon line, vanishing points, and convergence of objects in two-point perspectiveDrawing displays a structure with planes that appear to recede perpendicular to the picture planeDrawing displays the illusion of space through diminution in scale from foreground to backgroundDrawing includes construction lines to show processDrawing shows a use of varied lines weight to describe contours of objectsDrawing displays the use of ellipses relative to eye levelDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Create a direct observational heightened drawing of still life objectsAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaDrawing uses a middle-value paper to represent the values of the lights side or the shadow side of the forms depending on their local value (no mixing black and white charcoal)Drawing depicts a minimum of five objectsDrawing shows overlapping formsDrawing displays the use of black and white charcoal pencils to model the dark and light values according the six properties of light and shadowDrawing shows an organization of value to show a sense of depthDrawing displays the use of accumulated shading techniques (no smearing)Drawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Create a direct observational drapery drawing using the reductive drawing techniqueAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaDrawing shows a depiction of drapery with a sense of weightDrawing shows a depiction of drapery with accurate proportions and underlying volumesDrawing uses the reductive drawing technique to render the draperyDrawing displays a full range of value using the six properties of light and shadowDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
-
Draw an embellished self-portrait from photo referencesAssessment StrategiesMulti-session drawingCriteriaDrawing shows a sense of likeness through accurate proportions and placement of the anatomy of the head and shouldersDrawing shows a refined use of the medium chosen for the projectDrawing uses objects or shapes-based design in negative space to explore and describe aspects of self, personal beliefs, or cultural traditions important to youDrawing shows a refined use of value to describe form using the six properties of light and shadowDrawing establishes a figure ground relationship based on the organization of value and detailDrawing reflects a thoughtful and creative solution to compositionDrawing has a clean presentation (straight borders, no smudges, no spills, etc.)
