Grading Rubric
Development of Ideas: The observations or views you bring out in the essay. Answer what is being asked.
To focus on the questions being asked, write them down in your own words, so, you truly understand. Stretch yourself in your writing but stay focused on what is being asked.
Do you truly understand the prompt? If they are asking for compare and contrast did you do that? Have you read the textbook to help your knowledge and depth? Did you understand it? Would you be able to explain this to someone else? Did you use lots of details using the art vocabulary in the textbook? Are you using the vocabulary you learned from past chapters? If asked, did you discuss motivation of the artist?
Conventions: Refers to use of grammar, punctuation, and separation and connection of different ideas.
One suggestion is to write your essay in Microsoft Office and spell/grammar check your work. Also, proofread your writing before submitting? Did you check your grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence fragments or word choice? Did your writing interfere with your reader’s understanding? Did you use run-on or rambling sentences? Did you look for fragments?
Focus and Coherence: Have you communicated clearly enough for the reader to understand. Have you answered what has been asked?
Make note of names, dates, significance of the art, and technical terminology about how the art was made. Use visual details to make your point remembering to use art vocabulary. Again, answer what is asked on the prompt.
Did you response persuasively to justify your conclusions through logic, examples, and illustrative language? Did you make references to people, events, places, relationships, etc. effectively demonstrate a strong command of the relevant concepts in art?

Smith has literally turned the figurative tradition in sculpture inside out, creating objects and drawings based on cellular forms, organs, and the human nervous system. This body of work has evolved to incorporate domestic objects, animals, and narrative tropes from classical mythology and folk stories. Themes such as Life, death, and resurrection are major signposts in many of Smith’s installations and sculptures.
