Rationale for Score:

Breadth is evidenced in the commanding use of multiple media, including graphite, oil, and mixed media.

Slides 2, 7, and 11 demonstrate ambitious use of tonal value in observational drawing to describe space, create pattern, and establish focus.

Slides 1 and 9 show a confident exploration of line quality to create value and texture with both black-and-white and color media.

The student creates different moods and demonstrates clear risk-taking in complex compositional choices, including dramatic perspective in slide 1 and ambiguous, imagined space in slides 6, 11, and 12.

Slides 5 and 7 show serious articulation of a variety of conceptual approaches, including observational space; works in slides 4 and 6 are surrealistic explorations; slide 3 demonstrates post-impressionist mark-making; and slide 12 shows personal imagery.

A cohesive relationship between form and content to communicate complex visual ideas and an imaginative student voice are evident.

Overall, the student demonstrates clear thinking, flexible decision-making, and successful risk-taking.
