Advanced

1. Application of unique or unusual visual design techniques; such as the use of line, shape, space (foreground, background, negative space), pattern, dark and light contrast, symmetry, and balance
2. Accurate application of scientific information
3. Advanced observation skills
4. Application of interesting and/or clever detail
5. Problem solved in a unique way with an original idea, little evidence of stereotypical or schematic images

Proficient

1. Application of appropriate visual design techniques such as the use of line, shape, space (foreground, background, negative space), pattern, and symmetry
2. Appropriate application of some scientific information
3. Evidence of careful observation
4. Use of detail
5. Problem solved using original idea, may have some stereotypical or schematic images

Partially Proficient

1. Overall visual design techniques are under-developed
2. Some evidence of scientific information
3. Some evidence of observation
4. Some attention to detail
5. Problem partially solved, idea not clearly depicted

Minimal

1. Missing substantial portions of the criteria, such as visual design techniques, scientific information, observation skills, detail, and problem not solved
