Drawings Demonstartes understanding of quick sketches, perspective drawings, and detailed drawings	Excellent multiple sketches from various perspectives, containing detail, composition, and anatomical guidelines	Good 2-3 sketches laying out the general shapes , spinal position, and volume masses	Fair 1-2ough sketches describing the general shape and volume	Poor one sketch done, lacking anatomy, volume, or detail	No Effort no sketches
Armature Demonstrates an understanding of building an armature for the purpose of clay sculpting	Excellent Free standing, balanced and rigid. Securely supports weight of clay	Good sculpture leans in one direction	Fair loose and unbalanced; sculpture wobbles	Poor armature falls and cannot support weight of clay; loose fitting	No Effort no standing support or base; incomplete human frame
Use of Materials Applies material correctly	Excellent excellent use of tape and foil, applied tightly, not creating an encumbrance to the design, wire is correct size and scale	Good Tape and foil wrapped to aluminum wire, some areas exposed from underneath the clay	Fair tape and foil are loose fitted; some areas are bulky and interfere with the sculptures silhouette	Poor tape and foil move dramatically; cracks and gaps are visible	No Effort incorrect use of tape and foil, clay fails to adhere to armature materials
Pose Demonstrates an understanding of figure composition and gestural body language	Excellent Demonstrates understanding of Counterbalance, shifting of weight, establishes correct spinal line	Good Sculpture contains strong gestural pose with some shifting of weight	Fair Pose is close to the live model.	Poor Lack of balance, incorrect shift of weight, sculpture leans off center line, pose does not resemble live model	No Effort no pose established. armature lacks modification for pose
Use of Clay Demonstrates an understanding of clay building and techniques	Excellent Demonstrates advanced detail work with clay; applies tool proficiently with exceptional results,	Good Strong application of clay with general shapes established	Fair Clay applied to armature with some shaping and molding resembling the model	Poor Struggles with the clay material, no apparent recognizable shapes	No Effort Little or no clay sculpting techniques
Anatomy Demonstrates an understanding of basic human anatomy: scale, proportion, muscle definition and skeleton system	Excellent Demonstrates understanding of muscle formation, skeletal movement and landmarks, correction scale and proportion	Good Created general parts of the body with some muscle definition	Fair Basic human shapes are recognizable, volumes and body masses are distinguishable	Poor Struggles with the overall shape of human figure, lack of understanding of human proportions	No Effort No resemblance of the human figure
Design Creates a clean design by using artistic style, composition, and craftmanship	Excellent Demonstrates understanding of silhouette, artistic and aesthetic craftsmanship, excellent composition and use of negative space, strongly resembles the live model	Good silhouette, pose, basic shapes and some detail closely resembling the live model	Fair looks similar to the live model,	Poor Struggles with capturing the visual information and applying it to the clay media,	No Effort lacks effort in creating an artistic sculpture, does not resemble live mode, no recognizable, features, landmarks or details
