DRAWING: SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION DRAWING: SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION (CONCENTRATION) — SECTION II A sustained investigation is defined as “a body of work unified by an underlying idea that has visual coherence.” In scoring sustained investigations, there are four major areas of concern: Coherence and/or development. Is the work presented actually a sustained investigation? Quality of the concept/idea represented. Is there evidence of thinking and of focus? Degree of development and investigation that is evident in the work. Is there evidence of growth and discovery in the work? Quality of the work in both concept and technique. Note: These four areas will necessarily appear in shifting relationships of relative strength and weakness. Where the four are not even in the level of achievement they represent, they will be considered as a whole to arrive at the score for the section. Because this section is concerned with a process of growth and discovery, the work presented may span a range of levels of achievement. If this is the case, the higher level that is reached should be considered in the score that is given. Key Scoring Descriptors A. Integration of the Topic of the Sustained Investigation and the Work Presented B. Decision Making and Discovery Through Investigation C. Originality and Innovative Thinking D. Evocative Theme that Engages the Viewer E. Transformation and Growth F. Technical Competence and Skill with Materials and Media G. Understanding the Use of Digital or Photographic Processes H. Appropriation and Student Vision I. Image Quality (for Weak and Poor Sustained Investigations Only) J. Overall Accomplishment and Quality In applying these descriptors, consider drawing issues such as the following: Line Quality Surface Manipulation Light and Shade The Illusion of Depth Rendering of Form Mark Making
