Design - artistic elements and principles that guide the visual vision. Visual Arts Rubric - a guide to assessing some of the skill aspects in visual arts. The visual arts rubric looks only at the level of skill development in the elements and principles of design, and use of medium. Expression is a missing dimension from the rubric and should be added at the local level, either by a local rubric scale or through narrative comments. Frequently media are mixed and more than one material is used.
Benchmarks are available for watercolor, tempra, papier mache, clay, and lineoleum block printing.
