Understanding 10 pts Student's had to create a landscape that included correct composition. The composition must include a diagonal, asymmetry, and dividing composition into thirds. Student's had to include an "expressive" sky, land, and a tree with branches.	Exceeding The artwork is planned carefully; understanding of all concepts and instructions is clearly shown. Student has clearly shown growth in skill level and design ability.	Fully Meeting The artwork is planned carefully; understanding of most concepts and instructions is shown. Student has shown some growth in skill level and design ability.	Meeting The art work is planned adequately; understanding of some concepts and instructions shown. Student has shown growth in skill level and design ability, but only in some of the concepts.	Minimally Meeting The artwork shows little evidence of understanding the concepts and instructions. Student has not shown growth in skill level and design ability.	Not Yet Meeting The artwork shows no understanding of the concepts and instructions.
Composition 10 pts The composition has thirds, asymmetry, and	Exceeding Composition fill the page. Students has all three elements of composition. Including asymmetry, a diagonal, and thirds. Thirds can be literally divided or using foreground, middle ground, and background.	Fully Meeting The student used some some of the elements of composition but there lacks a good balance of weight. The addition of another element would help their work. For example the addition of a middle ground. Or for a diagonal, something higher in the corner to lead the eye across the page.

But, in some places they could be better. There are shadows and highlights on the tree trunk an branches. But, in some places they are missing. There is a cast shadow of the tree. The leaves do not separate but hide the branches.	Meeting Trees have a transition from root to top of the trunk. But in places the transition could be better. Branches have very little transition. .

Fully Meeting Artwork does have very strong areas that stand out in their excellence. However, there are other areas that do not work in the art. Instead they are a distraction to the overall piece. These areas were talked about in critique.	Meeting Artwork has at least two parts of composition, the colors and textures work relatively well together.
