Advanced
The student created a landscape painting using watercolors and extended the landscape scene outside of the picture plane.
Proficient
The student created a landscape painting using watercolors and filled the entire 8 1/2 x 11 picture plane.
Basic
The student created a landscape painting which fills most of the 8 1/2 x 11 picture plane. Watercolors were used but in some areas the pencil drawing is still noticeable underneath.
Below Basic
The student did not fill the 8 1/2 x 11 picture plane. The landscape is drawn with pencil and little or no watercolor is present within the drawing.
Accuracy of Landscape
Advanced
The landscape is clearly drawn with a foreground, middle ground and background. Detail has also been given to item scale with large objects in the front and smaller objects in the back.
Proficient
The landscape is clearly drawn with a foreground, middle ground and background.
Basic
The landscape is drawn with a foreground and background but no middle ground is visible. Some natural elements are included in the background but they are not drawn or painted according to scale.
Below Basic
The landscape is drawn with only one level (the landscape only includes one of the following: a foreground, middle ground or background).
Watercolors
Advanced
Watercolors were applied in a neat and creative manner. Colors were evenly and consistently applied (there are no "blotchy" dark or light areas). Washes and neutral colors were used in the background. Brighter colors were used with more detail in the foreground.
Proficient
The application of the watercolor is fairly neat and creative, however, there may be a few areas that need some work (some colors may need to be more evenly and/or consistently applied). The student used washes in the background and attempted to add detail to the foreground.
Basic
The application of the watercolor is not very neat or creative. Many areas are lacking and/or incomplete. The student used only washes throughout the entire piece.
Below Basic
The application of the watercolor was not done in a neat or creative manner. The watercolor looks sloppy, as though no effort was put into the project.
Review and Reflection
Advanced
The student can point to the foreground, middle ground, and background within their painting while also discussing the techniques they used to create those areas. They can discuss historical and contemporary views of landscape paintings. The student completed the written response and was able to discuss how current ecological concerns may affect a viewers experience of a landscape painting.
