Voice
Artists intent comes through
very clearly in the piece
through original or unusual
connections and ideas. Artist
can clearly articulate meaning
and personal connection
Artists intent is evident in
piece, though connections and
ideas might be less original.
Artist can convey personal
meaning of piece on a basic
level.
Artists intent is confusing in
piece, with connections and
ideas that show more evidence
of outside than artists own
creativity. Artist has difficulty in
expressing personal meaning of
piece.
Artists intent is virtually
absent, with connections and
ideas that are largely taken
from outside influences. Artists
cannot express personal
meaning of piece.
Craftsmanship
Artwork was beautifully and
patiently done; it was as good as
hard work could make it. Piece is
polished
With a little more effort, the
work could have been
outstanding. Lacks finishing
touches, but some polish is
evident.
Piece shows adequate
craftsmanship. Some aspects of
the piece might be unfinished or
unpolished.

craftsmanship. Many aspects of
piece are unfinished or
unpolished.
