Rationale for Score: This group of works addresses 2-D breadth with skillful use of multiple media.

The student uses strong contrast and a transitional range of values to confidently articulate both deep and shallow space as is evident in slides 1, 4, 5, 6, and 11. Slides 3 and 8 demonstrate a sophisticated use of rhythm and pattern.

The conscious use of a limited, muted color palette creates a sense of unity throughout the entire portfolio.

The student achieves both technical and stylistic success through experimentation and risk-taking.
