Student only cut one shape per side. Cuts from x-acto knife and scissors are of poor quality. Did not glue any pieces onto white paper.

Student only cut a few shapes per side. Limited knowledge on how to use an x-acto knife. Some pieces are missing. Needed help using a ruler and centering a square on a piece of paper.

Craftsmanship and skill need improvement. Jagged edges and tears from x-acto knife. Square is inaccurately centered on paper.

Craftsmanship is good. Placement of shapes versus space is successful. Only small amounts of glue can be seen.

Craftsmanship is excellent, no unwanted glue, cuts from x-acto are crisp and clear, no tears in paper. Stellar craftsmanship. Self motivated.

points

Did not engage in gluing down the few pieces that were cut, therefor unable to understand negative and positive space. Student does not demonstrate overall concept of shape and space, negative and positive design. Also fails to recognize geometric and organic shapes as well as symmetry and asymmetry.

Needs improvement on overall concept of shape and space, negative and positive design. Also needs improvement with geometric and organic shapes as well as symmetry and asymmetry.
Needs improvement with overall design.

Understanding of symmetry and asymmetry as well as geometric shapes and organic shapes. Student is in the process of grasping shape and space and negative and positive design. Had student developed more ideas for this assignment, his or her project would have been more successful.

Good design has a balance of light and dark. Using the concept of light and dark enhances design. Good understanding of symmetry and asymmetry and space and shape. Recognizes balance in a composition.

Excellent design has an understanding of positive and negative - Space and Shape are balanced - used both organic and geometric shapes and if did not has a clear understanding of them. Explored many designs before settling on a final design. Excellent composition. Self motivated.

points

Poor behavior and attitude in class, negative role modeling. Gave up quickly and showed no signs of problem solving. Did not ask teacher for help. Not committed to the class peers or interested in learning project. Invested in interrupting the class instead.

Involved with other students who gave up quickly instead of trying to problem solve with students who had a better understanding of project. Did not ask teacher for help.

Involved with others in class who struggle staying on task, then when frustrated with his/her own time management leaned on students who were more successful with project. 50/50 with staying positive throughout project.

Stayed positive and willing to learn. Problem solved with others in the class to better understand assignment. Good attitude towards learning. Self motivated.

Excellent attitude and mature behavior. Assisted other students who needed help. Positive role modeling. Able to teach what student learned about this project to others. Enthusiastic attitude towards learning. Self motivated.
