3rd Quarter Assessment
Hand Painted Scarf Design Rubric
Name:period:
Your assignment is to create surface design on a silk scarf using the processes of batik and silk painting. The design on your scarf must represent, in an abstract way, the ideas behind a theme of your choice, as discussed in class. Your theme should reach beyond the obvious and require deeper thought. Themes, such as life vs. death, deforestation, and religious freedom are examples of themes that require more thought. The design should address the concepts of positive/negative space, unity, compositional movement, rhythm, and limited color schemes. You will have 4 weeks, from the planning to the completion of the final product to finish this project. It will count as your 3rd quarter assessment.
