What is the Individual Arts Assessment Pathway (IAAP) and how does it fit into this Roadmap?

The Individual Arts Assessment Pathway (IAAP) will be a new option for the 4+1 arts pathway to graduation open to all high school students in New York State. Students who choose

the IAAP will document then curate a selection of their artistic works over time (3 units of arts study), which meets the NYS Learning Standards for the Arts. The work will be

2017 NYS Learning Standards for the Arts Roadmap and Implementation Timeline

If initial budgets are approved, the IAAP will be developed and piloted from Summer 2019 through Spring 2022. Once approved by the Department in its final form, the first cohort of students may be eligible to submit their work for scoring in June 2022. Curricular support will be essential to student success on the IAAP. Professional learning support provided

in the new arts standards will be essential to that success, along with IAAP-specific professional learning. Correlation between the Roadmap timeline and the proposed IAAP development timeline can be found in the appendix on page 18.

Universal Art Project Evaluation Rubric

Total Points: 100


1. Elements and Principles of Design (30 Points)

Focus Areas: Use of line, shape, form, color, texture, value, space, balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity.

  • 30-26 Points: Excellent use of the elements and principles of design. The work demonstrates a deep understanding and thoughtful application of these concepts. Elements and principles are harmoniously integrated to create a visually engaging composition.

  • 25-19 Points: Strong use of elements and principles. While well-applied, some areas may not fully utilize all the elements and principles, or there may be minor inconsistencies in the application.

  • 18-12 Points: Basic understanding of elements and principles. There may be noticeable imbalances or lack of cohesion in the use of design elements, or some elements may feel underdeveloped or out of place.

  • 11-0 Points: The use of elements and principles is minimal or poorly applied. The artwork lacks harmony, and the design feels disjointed or chaotic.


2. Composition (25 Points)

Focus Areas: Layout, balance, focal point, visual flow, proportion, depth, and perspective.

  • 25-22 Points: The composition is well-organized and balanced, with clear focal points and strong visual flow. The work shows excellent use of space and proportion, guiding the viewer’s eye through the piece.

  • 21-16 Points: The composition is generally well-balanced but may have minor areas of imbalance or visual confusion. The focal point is somewhat clear, though the visual flow could be improved.

  • 15-10 Points: The composition is weak, with issues such as poor use of space, lack of a focal point, or an unclear visual flow. The elements may feel cramped, unbalanced, or awkwardly arranged.

  • 9-0 Points: The composition is poorly executed, with significant issues in layout, balance, and the use of space. There is no clear focal point or visual flow, making the work hard to interpret.


3. Technique with Medium (25 Points)

Focus Areas: Skillful use of chosen medium (e.g., pencil, paint, clay, digital tools), craftsmanship, precision, and control.

  • 25-22 Points: The student demonstrates exceptional technique with the chosen medium. There is clear mastery in the application of the medium, showing a high level of skill, control, and craftsmanship.

  • 21-16 Points: The technique is strong, with some areas demonstrating confidence and control, though there may be minor inconsistencies or areas where the medium could be applied more effectively.

  • 15-10 Points: The technique is basic or inconsistent. There may be areas where the medium is not fully utilized or where control and precision are lacking. Some portions of the work may appear rushed or underdeveloped.

  • 9-0 Points: The technique is poorly executed. The use of the medium shows a lack of control or understanding, with noticeable errors, smudges, or an overall unpolished appearance.


4. Final Presentation and Effort (15 Points)

Focus Areas: Presentation of the work (neatness, finishing touches), effort put into the piece, and overall quality.

  • 15-13 Points: The artwork is presented professionally and thoughtfully, with clean edges, appropriate framing or mounting, and careful finishing. The effort is clearly visible, and the student has gone above and beyond in their attention to detail.

  • 12-9 Points: The artwork is presented neatly, though there may be minor issues (e.g., slight smudges, unfinished edges). The effort is solid, but the final presentation may not feel as polished or meticulous.

  • 8-5 Points: The presentation is lacking, with visible flaws such as rough edges, incomplete details, or lack of attention to finishing touches. The effort is apparent but not fully realized in the final presentation.

  • 4-0 Points: The presentation is unkempt or incomplete. The artwork may have visible damage, lack finishing touches, or appear unfinished, reflecting minimal effort put into the final presentation.


5. Creativity and Originality (5 Points)

Focus Areas: Originality of concept, innovative approach, and personal artistic voice.

  • 5 Points: The artwork is highly creative, showing a unique and original approach. The student demonstrates an inventive, personal style and voice.

  • 4-3 Points: The artwork shows some creativity, but elements of the concept or style may be predictable or derivative. The student’s voice is emerging but not fully developed.

  • 2-1 Points: The artwork lacks creativity or originality, with a concept that feels familiar or copied. The work lacks personal expression or innovative ideas.

  • 0 Points: The artwork shows little to no creativity or originality, and feels entirely derivative or generic.


Final Total: ___ / 100 Points


Instructor Notes:

  • Elements and Principles of Design: Evaluate how well the student incorporates the fundamental design elements (e.g., line, shape, color) and principles (e.g., balance, rhythm, unity) into their artwork. Assess if these elements work together cohesively.

  • Composition: Look at the overall structure of the artwork. Does the student use the space effectively? Is there a clear focal point? Does the piece have a sense of visual balance and flow?

  • Technique with Medium: Evaluate the student’s command over the materials and medium used (e.g., paint, graphite, digital tools). Does the student display skillful control and craftsmanship in their medium?

  • Final Presentation and Effort: Assess how well the work is presented (e.g., framed, mounted, neatness) and how much effort the student has put into completing and refining the piece.

  • Creativity and Originality: This is an opportunity to evaluate the student’s unique approach and whether their work stands out creatively. It’s important to acknowledge personal artistic expression.

This rubric can be applied to a variety of media (e.g., drawing, painting, sculpture, digital art) and is flexible for assessing projects of different scopes and complexity.
