Time & Effort Class time was used effectively. Much time and effort went into the planning and design of the piece. Considerable progress could be seen each day.

Most of class time was used effectively, although there may have been one day where not much progress was made.

Class time was not always used effectively and the piece would definitely be more successful had time been used more wisely. Some days it is unclear whether any progress was made.

Class time was not used effectively and most of the work was done on the last day or two of the assignment.

After analyzing proportion, students will create a self-portrait, using the elements of art (value, form, and texture). Students should consider spacing, depth, and overall composition to create a unified work. The self-portrait will be critiqued based on the student’s use of the elements of art, design and composition, accurate proportions, drawing techniques, and craftsmanship.
