Visual Arts--Sample Student Responses

Score of 4. Both of these packages are very strong in both communication and dimensionality. Each shows evidence of a capacity to create clear and visually arresting solutions based on metaphorical thinking (using sounds such as "Ahh" or "Shh" to convey a scream or whisper). The package on the left utilizes a "wraparound" design of a mouth uttering a scream to create a very well-integrated package that conveys its contents clearly.

The package on the right contains a whisper and conveys its contents very well. Once again, repeated quiet colors on each panel pull the package together. The drawing of the sunset appears to be supported by the strong horizontal type of the "Shh" sound.

Press the 'play' button or drag the slider control to view different sides of the box.
