Symmetry Rubrics

Radial Symmetry Initials

30 points --- SQUARE and 8 TRIANGLES: A perfect square that is approximately 8.5" by 8.5" in size was drawn lightly with pencil on paper.  The drawing paper was not folded. The square was divided into 8 triangular sections 

30 points --- RADIAL SYMMETRY LETTERS: Lettering was drawn on a cut out triangle that matches the 8 triangles on the square.  The lettering consists of 3 - 5 letters/NumbersThe lettering was copied by tracing 4 times regular facing and 4 times flipped as directed in the video

30 points --- NEAT & COMPLETE: The lettering was carefully placed in each triangle and the flipped pairs line up neatly.  The lettering was neatly traced so that they look close to identical to eachother.  

5 points --- REFLECTION & SELF GRADING: : Private comment with reflection and self-grading is included

5 points --- TIMELY COMPLETION: The assignment is completed no later than a week past the due date. 

Animal Symmetry 

10 points --- PAPER: The final drawing was done on an 8.5" x 11" or similarly sized piece of paper and the drawing fills most of the page.  The process of folding and tracing was done as demonstrated in the lesson video.  The final drawing paper was not folded.

30 points --- ANIMAL IMAGE: The animal silhouette was carefully traced from a photograph and is included in the design. The photograph of the animal is included as an attachment with the completed Animal Symmetry drawing.  The photograph was carefully chosen and meets the 3 goals outlined in the assignment. 

25 points --- ADDITIONAL SHAPES: One half of the design includes at least 10 carefully drawn closed shapes.

25 points --- SYMMETRY: The final drawing includes 20 shapes (less if some are on the central axis).  The  shapes are carefully traced, flipped, and positioned correctly to create bilateral symmetry.

5 points --- REFLECTION & SELF-GRADING: Private comment with reflection and self-grading is included

5 points --- TIMELY COMPLETION: The assignment is completed no later than a week past the due date. 

Final Symmetry Drawing

10 points --- PAPER & PENCIL: The final drawing was done on an 8.5" x 11" or similarly sized piece of paper and the drawing fills most of the page.  The final drawing paper was NOT FOLDED.  The drawing is in PENCIL, NOT MARKER

20 points --- 5 REFERENCE IMAGES & SHAPES/LINES: The drawing includes at least 5 detailed and original reference images drawings that have been traced and reflected to create a total of 28 or more drawings.  The 5 Reference Image drawings look different from one another.  Additional shapes/lines are included to fill the in-between spaces

20 points --- RADIAL SYMMETRY: There is radial symmetry created with 8 - 16 reference image drawings

20 points --- BILATERAL SYMMETRY: Additional reference image drawings have been traced and reflected to create bilateral symmetry

20 points --- NEATNESS: Drawings look the same because they have been traced carefully.  Placement of reference image drawings has been carefully done so that they appear to be aligned. Guides have been completely erased.  Paper is in good condition.

5 points --- REFLECTION & SELF-GRADING: Private comment with reflection and self-grading is included

5 points --- TIMELY COMPLETION: The assignment is completed no later than a week past the due date. 

Final Symmetry Color (DRAFT)

X































DRAFT: Shaded Mouth, Nose & Eye

30 points --- DETAILED DRAWINGS: The Mouth, the Nose, and the Eye include all their respective natural components

30 points --- DIFFERENT VALUES: Each drawing uses a wide range of values including the darkest dark and the lightest light

30 points --- BLENDING & CONSISTENCY: The shading looks neat and carefully done and blending between values is gradual where needed.

10 points --- CAREFUL EXECUTION: The drawing and shading looks controlled and carefully done

Note: Work is not being graded for looking naturalistic!
