STUDENT DIRECTIONSThis assessment has two parts to it: o Part 1–Theme and Media Images (Day 1)o Part 2–Design and Creativity Images (Day 2)

The directions for each part are given in the Student Booklet.

PART 1–THEME AND MEDIA IMAGES (DAY 1) For this part of the assessment, you will review all the artwork you have made in all of your high school art classes. You will create a portfolio that will show your skills in four focused areas:

o Use of themes o Use of mediao Use of design elementso Creativity

You should find up to a total of twelve images that show your achievement in these four areas. You may use different images for each category, but it is not absolutely necessary. You may repeat certain images if they are the best examples fitting more than one category.

The Teacher Scoring Rubric that will be used to evaluate your portfolio is on pages 2 and 3 of your Student Booklet. Review Level 4, the highest level of performance.

To begin, create and save a new Word document. Save it as “Portfolio–Your Name”

Next, create four new folders, one for each category on the rubric. Name them “Themes,” “Media,” “Design,” and “Creativity.” Then, quickly review your portfolio and copy and paste your images into these category folders. Try to fit all images into one of the categories. If an image fits well in more than one category, you may put the same image in multiple categories. You will choose the best ones for the final portfolio next.

Next, look at the Teacher Scoring Rubric on pages 2 and 3 of your Booklet to see what type of images you need in the first category—Theme.

Review the Theme dimension on the rubric. Look through all your images and find three images that are based on a theme or “big idea.” The highest scoring content would be three images all on one theme; however, if you don’t have those, more than one theme may be used for the three images.

Label the top of your Word document “Theme-Based Art.” Copy and paste your three image choices under that title label. Under each image, put the theme, the title of the artwork, the medium, and the size in inches. It should look like this:

Theme: XxxxxTitle: Xxxxx

5

Medium: XxxxxSize: Xxxxx

You have 25 minutes to do this step. You may begin.

Now, you will do the same process for the next category—Media. Review the Media dimension on the rubric. Below the Theme images in your document, label a new section “Medium Focus: (name of medium).”

Select three of your images that show your skill in the medium you feel you are best. Label each image with a title and the medium, in the same way you did the first section. This section does not need the Theme labels. If you want to label the technique you are showing, that would be good too. For example, you might write “wheel-thrown pottery” or “acrylic paint-glazing method” or “crosshatch-shading technique” for a drawing. You have 25 minutes to complete this step.

When time is up, be sure that your name is written on the Student Booklet and leave it on your desk.

PART 2–DESIGN AND CREATIVITY IMAGES (DAY 2) First, you will be working on the “Design Elements” section of your portfolio. This is where you will show works that emphasize your ability to effectively use design elements and principles or other elements and processes that you have learned in art.

Label this new section, beginning under the last previous image, “Design Elements and Processes.” Review the Design Elements and Processes dimension on the Teacher Scoring Rubric on pages 2 and 3 in your Booklet. Choose the three images that you feel show your strengths in these areas. Label each image with the title, medium, and the process you are showing, such as “linear perspective,” “sense of movement,” “transparency,” or “texture study.” You have 25 minutes to do this. You may now begin.

When time is up for this part, you will work on the “Creativity” section of the portfolio.

Under the last image of your Design section, put the new header, “Creativity.” Then, find three images that you feel show your most creative ideas or that show how you use the creative process. Review the Creativity dimension on the rubric. You could use the same image done in three different ways to show experimentation or any experimental work that you did that is very different from the rest to show your versatility or any image that you feel is particularly creative.

Again, label each image with a title and medium. You may add a sentence or two describing a creative process you used, if you think it will help viewers understand. You have 25 minutes to complete this.

When time is up, you are now finished assembling your portfolio. You have 10 more minutes to clean up any formatting or text design you might want to adjust to make your

portfolio as clear and pleasing as you can. Before the time is up, you will save your work as a PDF file for review by your teacher.

You may use the Checklist for Part 2 to help you complete this part.

CHECKLIST FOR PART 2 I have titles for all four sections—Theme, Media, Design, and Creativity. I have 8 to 12 images in all sections.

o Up to three works that explore a theme o Up to three works showing advanced ability in a single mediumo Up to three works showing advanced use of Design Elements or Postmodern

Principles o Up to three works showing a variety of creative explorations or solutions

Each image has a title, size, and media labeled under the image.

When time is up, be sure to save your file as a PDF. Leave your Student Booklet on your desk.
