Watercolor Landscape Painting
	Exceeding 4 pts	Meeting 3 pts	Approaching 2 pts	Insufficient 1 pts
General Requirements	Exceeding The student created a landscape painting using watercolors and extended the landscape scene outside of the picture plane.	Meeting The student created a landscape painting using watercolors and filled the entire picture plane.	Approaching The student created a landscape painting which fills most of the picture plane. Watercolors were used but in some areas the pencil drawing is still noticeable underneath.	Insufficient The student did not fill the picture plane. The landscape is drawn with pencil and little or no watercolor is present within the drawing.
Accuracy of Landscape	Exceeding The landscape is clearly drawn with a foreground and background. Excellent attention has been given to the horizon line and trees. Sky colors and trees are accurately and realistically depicted.	Meeting The landscape is clearly drawn with a foreground and background. Good attention has been given to the horizon line and trees. All sky colors and trees are present.	Approaching The landscape is drawn with a foreground and background. Some attention has been given to the horizon line and trees. Some sky colors and trees are present.	Insufficient The landscape is drawn with little distinction between foreground and background. There is little or no attempt to create a horizon line.
Watercolors	Exceeding Watercolors were applied in a neat and creative manner. Colors were evenly and consistently applied (there are no "blotchy" dark or light areas). Washes were used in the background. Brighter colors were used with more detail in the foreground.	Meeting The application of the watercolor is fairly neat and creative, however, there may be a few areas that need some work (some colors may need to be more evenly and/or consistently applied). The student used washes in the background and attempted to add detail to the foreground.	Approaching The application of the watercolor is not very neat or creative. Many areas are lacking and/or incomplete. The student used only washes throughout the entire piece.	Insufficient The application of the watercolor was not done in a neat or creative manner. The watercolor looks sloppy, as though no effort was put into the project.
