Guidelines for Grading the Creative Assignment: Molly
Bang
The essay will be
judged by the standards outlined in the other handouts.
See, for example, the Guidelines
for Writing an Essay, Keys
to Structure and Style, Thesis
vs. Topic, and so on.
Both the creative
portion and the essay should meet the criteria outlined for
each option.
- Picture: Created a picture using abstract shapes and no
more than four colors, including background.
- Explanation:
- Full credit (A)
- Explains what effect (or emotion) you were trying to
produce, explains experimentation with shapes, sizes,
colors, and arrangement and relates those things to one or
more of Molly Bang's principles.
-
- Most credit (B)
- Explains, but in less detail and with less clarity what
your picture attempted to accomplish and what difference
different approaches made to the problem and how it relates
to Bang's principles.
-
- Some credit (C)
- Neglects to explain some aspects of the picture or of
the emotion/effect desired or neglects to relate explanation
to Bang's principles.
-
- Little credit (D)
- Does not explain choices in picture and does not explain
their relation to Bang's principles.
So, for option two, your creative work should strive to embody
the principles outlined in the assignment,
and your essay should make clear the ways in which your illustration
embodies these principles.
