IB Studio Work - Self Assessment - Template




IB Studio Work 
Self Assessment 
_________________________
Name_________________________  Date__________________________
Your Studio Work will be assessed according to six criteria,( these are not Ib exhibition criteria but for individual work)   which are listed here.  Use the smaller boxes to make your own notes on how your studio work is currently meeting these objectives, and how you can improve.  Be reflective and analytical, NOT descriptive!
  1. Imaginative Expression

The examiner is looking for work that is exploratory, creative and imaginative.  Interesting ideas are presented in intelligent, sometimes surprising, ways.
Ask yourself:  To what extent have I truly explored ideas to create interesting, adventurous studio work?  Or have I settled for the obvious?  Where have I used any unusual or unexpected combinations of ideas or materials in my studio work?
Teacher Comment:  







  1. Purposeful Exploration

The examiner is looking for work that matters to its creator.  The art is thoughtful and has been developed into something full of power and meaning.
Ask yourself:  How are the ideas in my studio work connected with my own life and cultural background?  Is it clear that I have created strong, powerful pieces of artwork which really mean something to me?
Teacher Comment:  















  1. Meaning and Function

The examiner is looking for work where subject matter, artistic ideas and techniques are combined well to produce a coherent outcome.
Ask yourself:  How are the ideas behind my studio work connected with the techniques and media that I have chosen to use?  What is the personal, cultural or visual meaning/purpose of my studio work?


















Teacher Comment:  
  1. Formal Qualities

The examiner is looking for work that is well panned.  Its form is the result of the thoughtful application of design principals.
Ask yourself:  How effectively have I designed the appearance of my studio work?  How well have I used visual language (composition, line, form, tone, color, texture, etc)?  Which visual or artistic problems did I encounter and how well have I solved them?













Teacher Comment:  











  1. Technical and Media Skills

The examiner is looking for work that shows technical skill and effective use of the medium.
Ask yourself:  Am I using my chosen media with high levels of skill?  What visual effects do I want to create?  How effective is the medium I have chosen at creating these effects?  Would it be better to choose a different medium?






















Teacher Comment:  



















  1. Growth and Commitment

The examiner looks at both the studio work and the RWBs for evidence of high quality visual and written work, including reflections on the relative success of different pieces of work and on their place in the student’s growth and development as an artist.
Ask yourself:  Overall, considering both my Studio Work and my RWBs, how much growth and improvement has my art work shown so far?  How have I developed as an artist during the course?  Can I distinguish between my better and weaker works, explaining how each one has contributed to my improvement?

Curatorial Rationale (Artist Statement)

Curatorial Rationale (Artist Statement) What is a Curatorial Rationale? The Curatorial Rationale is similar to an artists’ statement but refers specifically to the work selected for this exhibition rather than the general artistic output. Writing the Rationale is part of the process of self- reflection, decision making, and understanding of the relationship between artist and audience. Break it down into 3 parts: Overview, concepts, and ideas Selection of works Viewer Relationships Overview, concepts, and ideas (theme): You set the stage, so to speak, introducing us to the exhibition, what it is about and what are the underlying themes or threads.
