You should now evaluate ALL your work to date and return to them to improve them. As your series comes to a close over the next few weeks, you will be graded on the series as a whole. This grade will SUPERSEDE your previous grades for individual projects. Your grade for the series should approximate what your AP score might be (using the College Board's rubric). That is, A = 3; B/B- = 2; C/D = 1.
Your final Term 3 grade for your Sustained Investigation will be based on:
1. Clarity of your INQUIRY and cohesiveness of your series. Are you truly challenging yourself, and are you clear on what you're trying to achieve?
2. Your dedication and degree to which you PRACTICED techniques (For example, before applying them to your final pieces; or using techniques repeatedly throughout your works.).
3. Your dedication and degree to which you EXPERIMENTED with those materials, processes, and/or ideas; to EXPLORE, to see what they are capable of and how far you can go with them; to try out NEW things, materials, techniques, and/or ideas in inventive, creative, thoughtful ways.
4. Your dedication and degree to which you REVISED your work, particularly after receiving feedback, to make purposeful change (sometimes dramatic change), correction, and improvement.
5. Your SKILL in the following:
2D & 3D DESIGN: Use of ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES - point, line, shape, plane, layer, form, space, texture, color relationships, value, opacity, transparency, time; unity, variety, rhythm, movement, proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, figure/ground relationship, connection, juxtaposition, hierarchy
DRAWING: Use of mark-making, line, surface, space, light and shade, composition
