iRubric: Cut-Paper Collage Interpretation of a Subject/Environment rubric

A composition was chosen from the resource material provided and the subject matter was interpreted somewhat abstractly very well through the use of cut and torn paper shapes and colors. Shapes represent a specific theme and shows advanced evidence of planning and unity. Most items relate to the theme and are clear without explanation.

Composition is recognizable. Most shapes represent the subject well and show some evidence of planning and unity. Some items relate to the theme and may or may not be clear without explanation.

Composition needs improvement. Only a little evidence of planning and unity. Only a few shapes look like they represent the specific theme.

Hard to see how the composition relates to the resource photo. Unclear how shapes represent a specific theme. Little evidence of planning.

Shapes are neatly cut out or carefully torn and layered in calculated and deliberate placement with overlapping and full layers to make a well-done collage. All items are carefully glued on.

Collage is mostly neat and well-glued but there may be a few undeveloped areas that don't look as calculated and planned or a few pieces that could use better gluing.

Collage appears fairly haphazard and a little messy and could use improvement. Shapes lack attention to cutting, tearing or placement. Too much glue or not enough. (shapes may be falling off)

Not much of an attempt to cut or tear paper shapes to represent the resource photo effectively. Messy application and no real care taken.
Assignment is considered incomplete.

Reflection questions were answered thoroughly and thoughtfully with understanding and references to what should have been learned through this lesson about the art element of shape and the process of collage to create abstracted works.

Reflection questions were answered fairly well with some evident understanding of the goals of using the element of shape and process of collage to create abstract interpretations.

Reflection questions were answered with short answers and show some lack of understanding of the use of shape and the process of collage.

Reflection questions were barely or not really answered well.
