Responds adequately; relies on brief or general answers; occasional long pauses.
Responses short or unclear; preparation limited; frequent pauses or off-topic comments.
Does not prepare; unable to answer questions; disengaged or non-responsive.
Portfolio (Creativity, Drawing Ability, 3D Art)
Contains multiple original works in both 2D and 3D; demonstrates strong drawing accuracy (proportion, perspective, line quality) and effective 3D design (balance, scale, construction).
Contains a variety of works with clear intent; drawing shows accurate proportion and perspective in most cases; 3D work structurally sound.
Contains several works; some accuracy in drawing and 3D forms but inconsistent application.
Few works included; limited accuracy in drawing or 3D construction; incomplete or weak execution.
Portfolio missing key components; drawings lack proportion or perspective; 3D work structurally unsound or absent.
Potential (Commitment, Teamwork, Following Directions)
Always completes tasks; consistently supports peers; adapts to changes without prompting; follows multi-step directions immediately.
Completes tasks on time; works well with peers; follows directions with minimal reminders.
Completes most tasks; cooperative in group settings but sometimes needs reminders; occasionally misses details in directions.
Inconsistent in task completion; reluctant to collaborate; requires repeated prompting to follow directions.
Rarely completes tasks; resists collaboration; does not follow directions even with support.
Skill & Craftsmanship (Detail, Precision, Execution)
Projects are finished to a high level of accuracy: clean lines, careful assembly, and consistent attention to detail.
Projects well-executed with mostly clean details; minor flaws present but overall precise.
Projects meet basic requirements; some attention to detail but uneven execution.
Projects show weak or rushed execution; noticeable inaccuracies in detail or construction.
Projects incomplete or poorly made; major flaws in execution and accuracy.
