Acrylic Portrait painting
	Fair 5 pts	Average 7 pts	Excellent 10 pts
Portrait proportions	Fair The grid wasn't followed while drawing the portrait. The final painting has cartoon like qualities.	Average Portrait slightly followed the grid, but some areas of the drawing are slightly out of proportion compared to the rest of the face.	Excellent The portrait was drawn successfully according to the grid of the photo reference. All the facial features are in proportion to realistic human proportions.
Painted details	Fair Many details were not included in the final painting. The student left out many details from the photo reference and the project has a cartoon like quality.	Average A few small details of the portrait are missing. These lacking details affect the realism of the painted portrait.	Excellent The finished painting includes small details needed to complete portrait: eyelashes, pupil, iris, nose, mouth, hair, ears, neck, shoulders, eyebrows, and face shape.
Values of paint (highlights and shadows)	Fair .The final portrait looks flat because only one value was painted for each detail of the portrait.	Average Some parts of the portrait only contain one value of paint (Example: one color for hair, or face, etc.) There are other visible parts that show more values and depth.	Excellent Portrait includes many highlights, shadows, and values, throughout the facial features and remainder of the portrait. The painting shows great depth with all the different values.
Craftsmanship	Fair The background looks unfinished and parts of the painting are messy and incomplete.	Average Parts of the grid show through the paint. Some of the canvas paper is visible where some spots of paint weren't even or covered enough.	Excellent The canvas paper was evenly painted, and fully painted background is established. There are no smudges or paint marks that look like mistakes. Painting was signed in the front and turned in.
Time	Fair Class time was not used wisely and the student put in no additional effort for the final piece.	Average Class time was not always used wisely, but the student did the required amount of work for the finished painting.	Excellent Class time was used wisely. Much time and effort went into the planning and design of the drawing. It is clear the student worked extra time while project was assigned.
