3-D Art and Design Study Library.

Developing and refining an inquiry question that drives the full body of work · Documenting practice, experimentation, and revision across 15 digital images · Including process documentation: work-in-progress, material tests, failed attempts, and pivots · Written Prompt 1: identifying the guiding inquiry and demonstrating how the work answers it (600 chars max) · Written Prompt 2: describing synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas (600 chars max) · Per-image metadata: materials, process, size (100 chars max each) · Rubric Row A — Inquiry: inquiry clearly guided all visual work · Rubric Row B — Practice, Experimentation, Revision: iterative learning is evident and drives the work · Rubric Row C — Materials, Processes, Ideas (Synthesis): all three components form an intentional, unified whole · Rubric Row D — 3-D Skills: demonstrated proficiency in sculptural and dimensional art-making · Understanding what 'sustained' means: 40+ weeks of iterative, inquiry-driven making, not episodic production · Year-long timeline: exploration (Sept) → focus (Oct) → intensive production (Nov–Feb) → culminating works (Mar) → documentation/curation (Apr)

Selecting five finished artworks that demonstrate skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas · Photographing each work from two meaningful angles or viewpoints (5 works × 2 views = 10 images total) · Second view requirements: must show a different angle or a meaningful detail — not a near-duplicate of the first view · Per-work written commentary: identifying materials, processes, and ideas (spelling/grammar not evaluated; clarity is) · Holistic scoring rubric 1–5: score reflects preponderance of evidence across all five works · Criterion A — Art/Design Skills: rudimentary (2) through advanced/highly developed (5) · Criterion B — Materials, Processes, Ideas Synthesis: the distinction between score 4 (clearly evident relationship) and score 5 (fully integrated, inseparable whole) · Criterion C — Written Identification: identifying materials, processes, and ideas at scores 3–5 · Works may originate from the Sustained Investigation or be entirely independent pieces · Coherence across five works: holistic scoring rewards conceptual and visual consistency across the full set · Photography for 3-D work: three-point lighting, non-cluttered backgrounds, shadows that reveal form and volume · Acceptable media: sculpture, ceramics, metalwork, fiber/fabric arts, assemblage, installation, glasswork, jewelry, architectural models, bookmaking, game design mock-ups
