Written Evidence: the written components that accompany the student’s works of art and design
Visual Evidence: the visual components that make up the student’s works of art and design
Skills: abilities Rudimentary: emerging or undeveloped
Moderate: adequate
Good: proficient
Advanced: highly developed
2D skills: use of two dimensional elements and principles - point, line, shape, plane, layer, form, space, texture, color, value, opacity, transparency, time; unity, variety, rhythm, movement, proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, figure/ground relationship, connection, juxtaposition, hierarchy
3D skills: use of three dimensional elements and principles - point, line, shape, plane, layer, form, space, texture, color, value, opacity, transparency, time; unity, variety, rhythm, movement, proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, figure/ground relationship, connection, juxtaposition, hierarchy
Drawing skills: use of mark-making, line, surface, space, light and shade, composition
Materials: physical substances used to make works of art and design
Processes: physical AND conceptual activities involved with making works of art and design
Ideas: concepts used to make works of art and design (that can be evident visually or in writing)
Relationships: connections Unclear: not easily observable, discernable, or legible Inconsistent: not demonstrated in the same way or to the same degree across works of art and design
Identify: Indicate or provide information Synthesis: coalescence/integration of materials, processes, AND ideas
AP Art and Design Sustained Investigation Rubric Terminology (in order of appearance in rubric)
Sustained Investigation: an inquiry-based and in-depth study of materials, processes, and ideas over time
Inquiry: the process of asking questions in order to seek, to search, and to discover Written Evidence: the written components that accompany the student’s works of art and design
Visual Evidence: the visual components that make up the student’s works of art and design
Identify: Indicate or provide information
Relates: having relationships and/or connections between
Demonstrate: to make evident Indicate: to show, suggest, point out
Guides: the Inquiry leads the process of making works of art and design
Practice: the repeated use of materials, processes, and/or ideas
Experimentation: testing materials, processes, and/or ideas
Revision: making a purposeful change, correction, or improvement Development: the furthering or advancing of an inquiry in a sustained investigation (through in-depth exploration of materials, processes, and ideas)
