Subject Area: Art: Intro to design Grade Level: 9 th-12th

Teacher Evaluator: Emily Smith

1. What students are expected to do?

Students had to carve out an image on a linoleum block using relief techniques from
printmaking. Students had make at least 15 prints and implement them into their final projects
along with a specific color scheme and pattern. The students got to choose their image or
subject matter if they demonstrated that they knew how to use relief techniques by cutting out
areas in the block and understanding that carved out areas were white, and areas not carved
out would print the color they chose. The color scheme was also the students choice they had
the option to print in one color or role several colors together on one block as long as it followed
a specific color scheme such as primary or secondary colors. They were also allowed to use
different colors, surfaces and types of paper to print on. Finally, students needed to put their
projects together in a pattern of some sort. They had freedom to choose how to this, they could
cut up prints and use skills from the previous project and create a collage, they could cut them
up and put them together in any way they wanted, past prints on a large piece of paper (in any
color or size) or they could also draw or paint.

2. Which standards or curriculum expectations are being assessed?

1. Observe and Learn to Comprehend: Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding
color schemes and patterns through their final projects.
2. Envision and Critique to Reflect: Students will be able to discuss creative choices such as
content, color scheme and process and how they affect the viewing experience
3. Invent and Discover to Create: Students will use relief techniques to carve an image into a
linoleum block that can be printed showing negative and positive space and use creative
thinking to assemble prints into a color scheme or pattern.
4. Relate and Connect to Transfer: Complete a print using color schemes and meaningful visual
choices that reflect a culture

3. Describe what you would consider to be a proficient response on this assessment? Exactly what
would students need to do or say, write or perform for you to consider their work proficient?

This class is an MYP/ IB class the skills listed below are in the rubric that Mrs. Harris uses to assess
students based on MYP and IB grading standards. She does not use letter grades she uses the criteria,
Limited (1,2), Adequate (3,4), Substantial (5,6) and Excellent (7-8) she writes a number next to each skill
and then adds the score together for a total out of 24 points. In this grading scale proficient would fall
under Substantial or 15-18 out of 24.

a. Demonstrates knowledge of the art form studied, including concepts and

processes. Uses subject specific terminology
 b. Uses acquired knowledge to shape the artistic decisions in the creative
process
B. Developing Skills
a. Acquires and develops skills and techniques
b. Applies skills and techniques to create and/or present art
C. Thinking creatively
a. Develops and clear, imaginative and coherent artistic intention
b. Demonstrates a range and depth of creative thinking behaviors
c. Works until their concept is effectively realized in their work

HIGH EXPECTED LOW

(Objectives met) (Objectives partially met) (Objectives not met)

1. Students can create clear and
intentional images using the
relief process
1. Students create images
using relief techniques that
demonstrate thought and
time
1. Students turn in
assignments late or
incomplete
2. Students show little
effort or time in relief
2. Students understand color
schemes and can apply them
in their final prints
3. Students understand pattern
and demonstrate creative
thinking by, experimenting
with materials and
compositions
As the projects have gone on
students have become more
engaged and show an increased
understanding and confidence in
their artmaking skills.
2. Students use colors but do process and make
not have a intentional color minimal marks
scheme in mind 3. Students show little to
3. Students experiment and know understanding of
make patterns without pattern or color schemes
intent to follow a specific and make no attempt to
pattern. They try to make add them into their work
creative choices and work 4. Students make no
with new ways of creating creative decisions and
make the project as
simple as possible
For IB and MYP standards grades
handed in 3 days late get a 60%
and work turned in after three
days is 50%
Incomplete work receives a zero

2.

HIGH EXPECTED LOW

(objectives met)
Do not need one on one
help, familiar with what they
need to do, how they need to
do it and what is expected of
them. Material is easily
learned and comes naturally
(objectives partially met)
Can mostly understand
instruction and concepts may
need some one on one
instruction or help, provide
examples
(objectives not met)
Students need one on one
help plus outside help,
provide specific examples

Levels of Quality:

HIGH:

- Students are able to show clear intent, thought, imagery and understanding of the process
through their relief block print
- Students can make clean and precise cuts and have a clear concept
- Students show an understanding of color theory through the colors they choose for their
final prints
- Students have a total of 15 prints
- Students arrange their prints in a pattern
 - Students use problem solving and creative thinking skills to experiment with materials,
colors and ideas
- Studetns turn work in on time and complete
- Process, intent and content knowledge is refelected on in a meaningful way that
demonstrates understanding, time and thought

EXPECTED

- Students show intent, imagery and some understanding of the material

- Students make clean cuts and have a concept
- Students show some knowledge of color theory and pattern through their final prints
- Students have 14-12 prints
- students use some creative thinking by experimenting with ideas and materials
- students turn work in mostly on time and complete
- reflection is thoughtful and talks about intent and understanding
- time and thought are put into the project

LOW

- does not have an understanding of the material and does not show intent or imagery
- students make minimal cuts and have no concept
- show little to no knowledge of color theory and pattern with no intent to use either
- students use no creative thinking and put no thought and time into their project
- no reflection
- work is incomplete or late
