How do you grade a sketchbook assignment? Do students know how they will be graded or have a visual list of things to consider while designing? This is the rubric I use to quickly and efficiently grade my students' weekly sketchbook assignments. It consists of a list of areas for students to achieve the best and most interesting design possible. (Follow directions of assignment, Composition, Balance, perspective, proportion, line, gradation, contrast, texture, and neatness)
