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.
