BLOG RUBRIC
100 notebook points total for each post. One blog entry for each unit/project
• I Followed Directions Points
40 possible points in this section
- 20 points - minimum of 4 pictures included, 1 must be of your work and 1 of your sketches.

• Content Points
60 possible points in this section
- Level 3 = 60 points - your writing analyzes your work process honestly and explains your thinking clearly using art vocabulary. Your pictures provide visual evidence to support your writing.
For Example…
“For this project I used a soft slab technique, and ended up gaining more proficiency then I had before. I learned that you can use paper towel rolls for support and torn edges for an added effect. This makes the clay retain a soft, fluid appearance and adds an interesting edge scape. I would love to push this even further and try to work with even thinner slabs of clay.”
- Level 2 = 50 points - your writing is surface level, thoughts aren’t clearly explained. Your photos are related to what you write about but don’t provide clear evidence.
For Example…
“My art was original. I found a picture of a bird to use as inspiration but I changed things. This made my art my own.”
To make it a three explain why you think your art is original, describe how you changed the picture and add art vocabulary.
“My art is original because I took an idea I found on Pinterest and made it my own by changing the bird to a fish. I also included a sunset for the background instead of solid black like the original because I wanted to include a beach theme. I used a picture I took on a family trip for the sunset, which made the drawing even more my own because the photo was my work”.
- Level 1 = 40 points - your writing is general and could apply to anyone’s work, thoughts aren’t explained. Your photos aren’t connected to your writing.
For Example…
“My art is original because I did it. I came up with the ideas and that makes it my own. I’m really happy with my work.”
