Landscape Painting Unit
Category
Exemplary
(3)
I came to class and used my
time productively to practice
and develop my skills and
painting and was always on
task with assignments for the
day
I took risks in my art making,
learned from my mistakes,
and continually persisted
through the painting process
I have evidence of my thought
process showing I
brainstormed multiple ideas
for my disruption and planned
how I could effectively
incorporate that into my
existing landscape
I connected my disruption to
my personal experience and
can clearly explain how it fits
with the landscape
I skillfully incorporated new
techniques learned in class as
well as apply them in a clean
and purposeful manner
I can clearly identify specific
examples of how I applied
color theory/mixing and brush
techniques I learned in class
in my own landscape painting
(write an example(s) in the
box to the right)
In my landscape I effectively
worked from big shapes to
small details and mixed and
applied colors thoughtfully
I effectively and purposefully
applied concepts I learned in
class and took time to practice
and experiment in order to
develop a strong composition
of my landscape
(space/depth & design
technique)
(write an example in the box
to the right)
Self-Assessment
Accomplished (2)
My Learning
I came to class and would
sometimes use my time
productively to practice and
develop my skills and would
sometimes keep on task with
daily assignments
I challenged myself to explore
and experiment but I still
“played it safe”.
Disruption
I have some evidence of a few
ideas for my disruption and
how it could incorporate into
the existing landscape
I connected my disruption to
my personal experience and
can somewhat explain how it
fits with my landscape
Craftsmanship
I applied new techniques in
class and made most of my
painting clean and purposeful
Painting
I can identify some color
theory/mixing and brush
techniques I learned in class
(write an example(s) in the box
to the right)
In my landscape I worked from
big shapes to small details and
mixed and applied my colors
Composition
I applied concepts I learned in
class and took some time to
develop a composition for my
landscape (space/depth &
design technique)
(write an example in the box to
the right)
Developing Write comments as needed in
(1) the boxes below
I came to class but did not always
use my time effectively to
practice and develop my painting
and did not keep on task with
daily assignments
I experimented with some ideas
but stayed with what I am familiar
with.
I started and continued my
artwork with little evidence of
brainstorming and did not plan
how it would incorporate into my
landscape painting
I didn’t connect my disruption to
my personal experience and can’t
explain why I chose that
disruption
I attempted some new techniques
learned in class and struggled
with making them clean and
purposeful
I used some color theory/mixing
and brush techniques I learned in
class but struggle to identify them
(write an example(s) in the box to
the right)
In my landscape I did not work
from big shapes to small details
and did not consider how I mixed
and applied my colors
I created a landscape but didn’t
take much time to practice and
experiment and still need some
help applying concepts learned in
class to develop a stronger
composition
