rubric gallery

Have students paint a copy of an impressionist painting. Have each student create a label (one page max.) for a selected work, including the artist name, title, date, and a description, which should address the following: Describe the subject: What does the artist show in this picture? What details or symbols give clues to its meaning? Where is the scene supposed to take place? Describe the technique: How would you describe the artist's use of color and light? How would you describe the brushstroke? Why would this be considered an Impressionist work? How is it different from the work of other Impressionists? What makes this work unique to this particular artist?

A rubric that properly evaluates the artistic process. It measures the various phases and approaches that are necessary in the assessment of a project or a work of art.
