Still Life
	Novice 2 pts	Apprentice 3 pts	Proficient 4 pts	Distinguished 5 pts
Composition There should be a primary element of design supporting the composition.	Novice The objects do not fill the page completely. Objects are placed randomly - feels haphazard. The composition has not been considered.	Apprentice Four or more objects fill the page completely. The composition has been somewhat considered with some evidence of thought to supporting elements.	Proficient The page is filled completely with some of the objects going off the page. Evidence of supporting elements enhance the composition.	Distinguished The composition is organized with a clear focal point, and is skillfully supported by elements of design that create a cohesive overall feel.
Proportion and Space There is consideration given to the proportion of objects (scale and size in comparison to each other) and objects relationship to each other in terms of space (overlapping, negative spaces).	Novice Few of the objects are proportionally correct from height to width. There is no overlapping or consideration of negative spaces.	Apprentice Most of the objects are proportionally correct from height to width. There is some overlapping of objects and reference to negative spaces between them.	Proficient All the objects are proportionally correct in reference to each other. They are realistically overlapping with consideration given to spaces between objects.	Distinguished All of the objects are proportionally correct in reference to each other and the background. Work illustrates sensitivity to spaces between and around objects.
Craftsmanship The work is well crafted.	Novice The amount of stray marks, smudges, or paper imperfections detracts from the overall apperance of the composition.	Apprentice A few stray marks or smudges are evident but do not greatly detract from the overall appearance of the composition.	Proficient Presentation of the work is clean and neat with no stray marks, smudges, wrinkles or curled edges of paper.	Distinguished Presentation of the work is exemplary.
Personal Style Work demonstrates personal mark making style being developed by the artist.	Novice Many techniques or different kinds of mark making are employed and feel inconsistent or chaotic.	Apprentice There is some consistency with mark making.	Proficient Marks are consistent reflecting the personal style of the artist emerging.	Distinguished Marks are very consistent, and confidently rendered reflecting intentional development of personal style.
