SCORING RUBRIC |
5 - MASTER Highly Proficient
(demonstrates complete mastery) Has a clear understanding of
the relationship between particular materials and their associated
techniques, and the styles and images to which they are best suited. NO HELP, WORKS ON OWN INITIATIVE |
4 - ACCOMPLISHED Proficient (demonstrates
above average skill) Has a firm grasp of
fundamental techniques, and needs little direction in their successful
accomplishment. OCCASIONAL HELP AND INSTRUCTION |
3 - COMPETENT Minimally Proficient (meets
expectations) Needs continual referral to
notes or instruction to successfully complete any technique. Starts to
acquire additional technical skills. REGULAR HELP AND INSTRUCTION |
2 - DEVELOPING Partially Proficient
(demonstrates some knowledge, shows inconsistencies Works under direct
supervision of instructor. FREQUENT HELP AND INSTRUCTION |
1 - BEGINNING Not Proficient (demonstrates
little or no skill) Unable to accomplish work
without continual direction and supervision CONSTANT HELP AND INSTRUCTION |
|
Additive (modeling) |
Has the ability to work skillfully in all major modeling techniques and media. |
Has developed an understanding of more complicated techniques. Uses an expanded variety of materials like concrete. |
Has a general understanding of fundamental additive techniques. Understands the use of armatures. Has skill modeling in plastic materials (like plaster) other than clay. |
Begins to develop basic skills in additive (modeling) techniques using potter=s clay as a basic material. Utilizes a direct modeling approach |
Demonstrates little to no evidence of an ability to use additive/modeling approaches to making sculptural forms. |
|
Subtractive (carving) |
Has the ability to work skillfully in all major subtractive media using all major techniques. |
Can carve complicated forms in stone or wood. Surfacing techniques and finishes are well thought-out and appropriate. |
Can carve simple forms in
stone or wood. Has moderate ability to
finish surfaces appropriately |
Develops fundamental skills in carving. Is able to surface work with fair consistency. |
Demonstrates little to no evidence of an ability create 3-D forms utilizing the subtractive process (carving). |
|
Constructive |
Is facile and skillful in the use of all the major wood joinery techniques. Is skilled in all major approaches to metal forming and ferrous/non-ferrous welding techniques. |
Is confident in the use of power wood working tools. Understands a variety of joinery techniques. Can weld ferrous metals with ease. Can shape metal using both hot and cold processes |
Can use basic power wood working tools. Can do simple oxy-acetylene welding processes. Can do simple arc welding. |
Can use simple joinery techniques like butt joints. Wood and cardboard are basic materials. |
Demonstrates little to no evidence of an ability to create 3-D forms using a constructive (as in: building or assembling) technique |
|
Substitutive Casting - Pointing |
Is familiar with, and adept
at, all major hot and cold molding/casting processes. Uses pointing technique with facility. |
Has a good understanding of hot casting (primarily lost wax process). Is familiar with pointing. Has some knowledge of flexible molding techniques. |
Can cast hollow forms using
piece molds or waste molds. Understands draught. Knows a little about hot
casting. Has limited concept of pointing. |
Can cast solid forms using open-face molds. Only familiar with cold processes |
Demonstrates no evidence of an understanding of substitutive techniques. |
|
Accuracy (skill in
representation) relative to subject |
Has the ability to skillfully translate, as accurately as necessary, imagery or concept (either representational or abstract) into 3-D form. |
Is generally proficient in the ability to accurately realize 3-D form and form relationships. |
Can reproduce a moderately accurate simulacrum of a desired 3-D form. |
Can create 3-D forms that are recognizable, though crude, evocations of either representational or abstract subjects. |
Is unable to translate concepts of form into 3-D actuality. |
