Select an artwork you have created so far in 8th VA Comp. Compare this artwork with an artis's artwork(s) from the past/present and answer the following questions:

Common Assessment #2: Art Criticism
The VA Comp teacher and students will create an "art gallery" in the art classroom or down a hallway with artwork from the VA Comp class or artwork from history (including modern art). Students can choose a work they would like to include or select one of interest to them from historical options supplied by the teacher. This work can come from sketchbooks, planning or a final project. Students will select an artwork of interest to them that is not their own. Students will have the guidelines below that relate to making selections from the grouping of art. Students are peer critiquing/exemplar critiquing based on personal choice and using their art language skills and Feldman's Steps of Art Criticism to explain their answers. Must include: Photo of the artwork selected Artwork title Artist name Media Description (underline your element vocab words; you should have 3-4 at least) Analysis (underline your principle vocab words; you should have 3-4 at least) Interpretation Evaluation (See attached WS below for details) Students can once again choose their own format: PP, Prezi, Word Document, TAgul, Poster, Chart, Interview, Video, Thinglink, Powtoon video etc. Click here to see an example of this assignment! This is an awesome example of this assignment. However, when looking at the rubric, she lost a few points on Description because she didn't explain the impact of the title in detail. Also, she lost a few points on Evaluation because she didn't explain why she would lighten the box on the bottom left. Overall this is a 95% project. Here is another great example of a video format: check it out!! Here is an example of one done with prezi: check it out! Students may also choose to create an ekphrastic poem in response to the work, following each step of art criticism. |

Art Production
VA Comp in 8th Common Assessment 3: Art Production
The theme for the production assignment will be “Artistic Mash-Up” focusing on art elements and principles of design. This production assignment will involve students infusing or “mashing” two or more concepts within the visual arts together to create a new innovative artwork.
Possible mash-ups can span different artists, time periods, media, and more! It will be up to the teacher and student to take the concept in an innovative direction.
Possible ideas include “mashing” of:
· different artists (different Masters, old and modern, etc.)
· different historic art genres
· different media and materials
· different arts areas (history, criticism, production, and aesthetics)
· different subject areas (Art and Math, Art and Science, etc.)
· different art careers
· different objects (natural vs. mechanical, real vs. mythical, etc.)
· and more!
All student ideas can be considered. All ideas that are questionable can be directed to the Visual Arts Supervisor for approval.
The final product must include:
1. The finished artwork
2. Artwork title
3. Artist statement (description of the Mash-up Concept and Elements/Principles used)
(See rubric for details)

Common Assessment #4: Aesthetics
The student will be selecting one artwork to submit to the final VA Comp collaborative art show. The student will also create an aesthetic response to the artwork to be viewed alongside of the artwork.
An aesthetic response can be defined as responding to the art in an interesting way to help engage the audience in the artwork. It involves experiencing the artwork using multiple senses. Aesthetic responses should be rich and detailed (metaphors, similes, sensory words, etc.) Possible ideas: -Create a descriptive poem, letter, journal entry, news article, etc. in response to the piece focusing on the senses. (handwritten or typed) -Record a soundtrack or video response based on the artwork and include a QR code for a viewer to access. -Create a visual chart explaining the symbolic use of color to evoke emotion in the artwork. -Create a word collage using rich adjectives people should feel when viewing the artwork. To keep the gallery presentation unified, please construct all responses on an unlined 5x7” index card (horizontal or vertical, mixed media allowed) including the student name and school. Please stress to students that this needs to be high quality and will be displayed for all to view. When submitting work for the final show, please tape the aesthetic card to the back of the work so it can be easily removed and displayed next to the corresponding artwork. The artwork will still need its own district label. All student ideas can be considered. All ideas that are questionable can be directed to the Visual Arts Supervisor for approval. The final product must include: The finished artwork Artwork label (provided by VA supervisor) Artist aesthetic response (See rubric for details)
