The document provides a rubric for evaluating a student drawing assignment. It assesses the drawing's presentation, design, studio skills used, and whether the objective was met. For presentation, the drawing should be complete with no neglected areas and free of defects. In terms of design, the drawing uses value contrast to create form and depth. The arrangement of objects and shadows creates movement. For studio skills, the student accurately depicted proportions and applied pressure with the pencil to vary tones. The objective was to complete a still life drawing on the designated paper size.
