RUBRIC: Pieces of Personality: Non-Objective Sculptures

Objectives Design Studio Skills Presentation

You built a thoughtfully considered non-objective sculpture with surface treatment, all based on your personality trait / the personality traits of all group members.

You used the element of form to represent your personality trait. Forms are sturdy and free-standing.

You shared responsibility (if working in a group) for all aspects of the project, followed directions, and completed all parts.

The structural design of your form and the surface treatment of your form are original designs (no pre-existing symbols!)

Your surface treatment consists of at least three colors, and was thoughtfully and carefully designed and executed to represent your personality trait.

Your form explores 3-dimensional space, considers how it interacts with the ground, and how it looks from all sides.

Your sculpture is well-constructed: it is free-standing, sturdy, and all pieces have been securely attached.

You used your time productively, appropriately, and safely during every class.

You took care of the art materials and voluntarily assisted in clean-up on a daily basis.

Paint (or other surface treatment) has been evenly and carefully applied.

Your final sculpture shows evidence of quality, time, thought, and care.

There are no visible gaps between edges.

Paper tape was properly and carefully used to cover all cardboard joins.

All paper tape was carefully flattened / smoothed.

Paint and glue have beenthoughtfully and carefully applied.
