Poor

The over all concept was not considered. The artist just "went for it" without constructing or sketching out any designs. There is not a unique element in the work. It was copied from another work.
Fair

The project was planned, but resulted in a basic figure. The artist did not spend significant effort in adding elements of character or clothing which would set the figure apart.
Good
