Art Grade Rubric - How to get an A in Art

(revised from rubric published by Woody Duncan)

A/A+ = WOW!!! It is amazing! You showed initiative and originality.

        You did something extra special

          or - You went beyond all expectations

          or - You broke the rules in a creative way.

          Your craftsmanship is exceptional!

Excellent solution to the problem!

You "out-did" the teacher on this one! (90 to 100 points)

B/B+ = It is GOOD! It is all I ask for. You were a "self starter".

          You did everything I requested – followed all directions the first time.

          You met all expectations – but did not push the boundaries.

          You did a very good job. Good use of design principles.

          Shows mastery of skills and craftsmanship. (80 to 89 points)

C/C+ = Well OK…. It is not up to snuff

          You did just enough to get by.

          You did minimum requirements necessary for a C – nothing more.

        You might have thrown it together? Didn’t care much for this project?

          Poor craftsmanship – lacks skill. Design principles "off".

You did not try very hard. (70 to 79 points)

D/D+ = Woops!! It is not finished.

          You did not meet the lesson objectives

          You did not follow directions – You did not try very hard

          You forgot to finish it. OR you hurried through.

          Lacks understanding of design principles.

          Low effort – below expectations for skills. Poor craftsmanship.

          You didn’t finish -- Shall I leave your grade unfinished too? (60 to 69)

F = Big Fat O!! It is missing.

          Did you forget to put your name on it?

          Were you absent?

          Did you lose it or throw it away?

          I saw you working on it – but cannot find it now?

No effort – no participation. Poor work.

         No project – no grade. (0 to 59 points)

Use these criteria as you evaluate your own work. Just because you finish a project doesn’t mean you deserve an "A"… Study your work with the above criteria and determine your own grade. Combine with your behavior/participation grade.
