Series Evaluation
Directions: Evaluate your work based on the following criteria. Each section is worth 25 points. Filling
out this worksheet with thought and completion is another grade for this problem.
T S
______ / ______ 25 points OBJECTIVE(S): solving the problem
I have created a series of at lest 3 or more photograms that are unified by composition.
I have considered a themeatic connection between the photograms.
I have selected only high quality, well exposed prints to solve the problem.

Comments:
______ / ______ 25 points DARKROOM SKILLS: studio processes and procedures
Each of my photogram exposures demonstrate the following compositional considerations:
My objects touch and go off the edges of at least 2 or more sides so they can be connected.
I have avoided “filling” the format, but instead carefully arranged my objects to create a balance
of both positive and negative space.
My objects are a variety of sizes to establish contrast and interesting space.
I have overlapped my objects to create more interesting and unique shapes.

Comments:

______ / ______ 25 points DESIGN / CONCEPT: how you solved the problem as an artist

Each of the prints has good contrast (wide variety of values that range from darkest black to whitest white).
My final prints demonstrate proper exposure techniques including adjusting times when necessary.
I have used a glass easel when needed to flatten certain objects of my composition
I have demonstrated the proper use of darkroom chemistry and processes to make my prints
I have demonstrated at least 1 type of experimental printing
Contact Printing - turning a negative into a positive
Multiple exposure - moving objects during or in between exposures
Experimental overlapping - layering objects to create different transparency effects.

Comments:

______ / ______ 25 points PRESENTATION: craftsmanship of the final print

I have carefully trimmed each print and taped them together for presentation purposes
Each of my prints demonstrates proper care (no chemical stains, dings- breaks in emulsion, unwanted
marks, scratches, dust or other distracting elements)

Comments:

______ / ______ Total (100 points)

Self Reflection Questions
Directions: Please respond to the following questions using complete sentences. You must answer each question
thoroughly in order for me to better understand your thoughts on solving the art problem.

What objects did you include in your photogram series? Why did you chose these objects?

What would you title your series? What visual relationship are you trying to express through your work?

What new process or tecnhique did you learn by creating your series? Explain

Identify a design principle that you used in your series (unity, emphasis, contrast, repetition, movement, balance)

Showpiece selections:
Directions: Select an artwork in which you feel is an exemplar image of the following categories. Do not pick the
same artwork more then once. Use 1-2 sentences to explain your reasoning behind your selection.

_________ Interesting / Unique- Select a print that you feel is showcases a clear concept

_________ Craftsmanship - Which print(s) show exceptional darkroom skills and presentation

_________ Risk Taking- Select a print in which you feel the artist took a big risk in combining images.
