questions for back of paper rubric

When you have finished your paper sculpture, turn you assignment sheet over and reflect on the project by answering the following questions:

1.  Did I use 6-9 strips of paper and vary the values in an effective way? How could I have done this more effectively?

2.  How well did I direct the visual weight and create a balanced sculpture?

3.  What other elements/principles can you discuss in your sculpture?

4.  How well is your sculpture constructed? How could you improve the quality of construction?

5.  How much thought did you put into the sculpture? Did you consider a design or did your sculpture just happen?
