Learning Objectives:
- Know what a rubric matrix is
- To be able to formulate a rubric matrix
- To be able to assess work based on a rubric matrix
- To be able to improve the quality of work based on the agreed rubric matrix
Instructions
A rubric matrix is a set of criteria or statements used to describe the quality of work. An example of a rubrics matrix on product design is shown below.
Criteria / Achievement Level | Not There Yet :( | Almost There :| | Good Work! :) |
Brainstorming | Less than 3 ideas are listed | Many ideas are listed but are similar to one another | Many ideas are listed and most are different from one another |
Creativity | Design of idea uses simple shapes | Design of ideas used shape borrowing but no refinement was evident | Design of ideas used shape borrowing and good refinement was evident |
Overall quality | Not much thoughts were put into the final idea | Some improvement of existing product as compared to the final idea | Final idea shows high level of improvement to existing products |
We can use such a rubrics matrix to determine how well we have done our assignments or tasks.
Task 1 (Group Work) - 40 Minutes
1. Recall the important points mentioned during sketching lesson and create a rubrics matrix with these 3 criteria:
- Line work (Hint: Draft Line, Shape Line & Outline)
- Ideation (Hint: Use of techniques like Shape Borrowing and SCAMPER appropriate?)
- Overall Quality (Hint: Details of the drawing, quality of the sketching, etc)
2. Share with other groups how you have determine the rubrics matrix
3. Use the rubrics to assess the following sketches from
Week 8: Water Bottle individually
- A Vase
- A Water Bottle
- A Tea Cup / Pot
4. Indicate the achievement level by the side of the sketch
Task 2 (Individual Work) - 20 Minutes
1. Using the rubric matrix to guide you, sketch the following objects in
Week 8: Water Bottle
2. Take a pic of the two objects you have sketched now and post it on your ADMT Personal Blog titled: "Sketching with Rubrics"
3. Write down in the same post how knowing the rubrics matrix has help you improve your sketches.
