General Notes:
- Each score point is characterized by a variety of descriptors of work that would receive
that score. The descriptors are examples; it isn't expected that all the descriptors for a
scale point will apply to any one particular portfolio. In fact, some of the descriptors
may seem to contradict each other because the range of possibilities for work at a given
score point is so great. But the descriptors should all capture characteristics of work
that merits each score.
- Because there are only six different points on the scoring scale, each score point also
represents a band or range of accomplishment.
- There is no "preferred" (or unacceptable) content or style.

Look for engagement with a range of:
- tonal values
- line quality
- perspective and other spatial systems
- composition
- drawing surface
- depth
- pattern
- means of representation/abstraction
- materials
- techniques
- styles
- content
- and so on….
6 — EXCELLENT BREADTH
- Work demonstrates serious, successful engagement with a broad range of drawing issues
and/or techniques.
- Work is executed with confidence.
- Work shows flexibility of thinking, as evidenced in the variety of works presented.
- A variety of materials are used well.
- There is evidence of experimentation, risk-taking, and/or ambition.
- The work successfully demonstrates awareness of stylistic as well as technical concerns.
5 — STRONG BREADTH
- Work demonstrates engagement with a broad range of drawing issues.
- Work is of generally strong quality.
- There is evidence of thinking in most of the works presented.
- A range of materials is used, in most cases successfully.
- The work may include some excellent pieces but demonstrate less than a strong range of
drawing.
- A range of stylistic, as well as technical, concerns is evident in the work.
4 — GOOD BREADTH
- Work demonstrates engagement with a reasonable range of drawing issues.
- Work is of generally good quality; its success may be somewhat erratic.
- There is evidence of thinking in at least some of the works.
- Work may be of strong or excellent quality, without demonstrating breadth of experience
(for example, narrow range of content or technique).
- Work may demonstrate strong to excellent breadth of drawing issues, but be of less than
good quality.
3 — MODERATE BREADTH
- Work is of generally moderate quality, and shows some engagement with a range of drawing
issues.
- Work may be of good quality, but with a narrow range of experience demonstrated.
- Work may demonstrate attempts at good breadth, but be of less than moderate quality.
- There may be modest evidence of thinking or problem-solving in the work.
- There may be a sense of experimentation, without a competent resolution or exploration
of what is being attempted.
2 — WEAK BREADTH
- Work in general is of weak quality.
- There may be little demonstration of breadth; breadth may be confused with subject
matter.
- Solutions to the range of problems attempted may be simplistic.
- Evidence of thinking may be slight or present in only a few works.
- Drawing tends to be awkward.
- Some works may be of moderate quality, but with little if any demonstration of breadth.
- There may be a moderate demonstration of breadth, but with work of poor quality.
1 — POOR BREADTH
- Work is of poor quality.
- Demonstration of breadth is extremely limited.
- Slides are virtually impossible to see.
- Very little work is presented.
