Design Criteria
The background color scheme will
consist of 4 colors and will be made of
geometric triangles.
The main canvas (the fist) will have at
least 7 skin tones of varying tones.
The project will cost $100 or less
My drawn design will be transferred
directly to my canvases.
The final product will be a total of 9
canvases-four pairs of varying sizes
and one canvas that is the largest.
Each canvas will be primed with three
layers of gesso in order to provide a
smoother surface.
7-8
Student creates a background
color scheme of four very distinct
colors and background consists
of a neat and organized pattern
of triangles
Student exceeds seven skin
tones, and they appear realistic
and varied. There are no streaks
and the color is opaque.
The student is able to make use
of their materials at home to
keep cost at or below $100. They
utilize coupons and deals.
The final paintings directly mirror
the original design visually and in
their color scheme with little to
no variation.
The canvases have an obvious
centerpiece, greatest in size. All
other canvases are equal in size
to its pair with a total of 4 pairs.
Each canvas is primed with
gesso. They have been gessoed
in three directions, vertically,
horizontally, and diagonally,
sanding each layer in between.
5-6
The student creates a The background has a very
somewhat organized
background of triangles and
uses three colors that work in
harmony
Student meets the
requirement of seven skin
tones of variety. There is little
to no streaks in the paint.
Student utilizes some
materials at home and has a
total cost of $110.
There is slight interpretation in
the design. Colors are similar,
and proportions are accurate.
The main canvas is not easily
distinguishable from others.
There are four pairs of
canvases of equal sizes to its
pair.
Each canvas is primed with
gesso. They have been
gessoed in two directions,
vertically and horizontally,
with no sanding.
3-4
Student creates little to no
messy background with no
apparent pattern or triangles
are not used. There are only
two colors used in the
background.
The student paints with fewer
than seven skin tones. There
is little variety, and the colors
are visibly streaky.
Student makes little to no use
of materials at home and cost
exceeds $125
There is a significant
difference from the original
design to the paintings.
Colors are different and there
are differing images.
The main canvas is not easily
distinguishable in size to the
other canvases and there are
two or fewer pairs of
canvases.
There is only one layer of
gesso on each canvas.
1-2
background. There is only
one color used.
The student uses fewer
than 3 skin tones that are
all of similar tone. The
paint is patchy and
uneven.
Student buys all materials
and cost exceeds $140.
There is no correlation
between the designs.
Colors and images are
completely different.
There is no
distinguishability between
canvases with no pairs.
There has been no
gessoing.
