Originality/Creativity – The work is different and inventive and has not been copied from other sources. The work will be judged as a Portfolio with emphasis on a consistent, distinct style that looks like it was done by the same person. Evidence of experimentation with materials and imagery may be present as well as evidence of risk-taking. 2. Composition/Design – The work shows a strong understanding of composition which is defined as a thoughtful arrangement of the art elements (color, texture, line, shape, space, and value) using the principles of design. The work is commanding, with fresh visual impact, and has a sense of “flow” that is, at the same time, controlled and organized around a center of interest. 3. Technique/Execution – The manner and skill with which the artist uses the tools and materials to achieve the chosen effect is consistent and well done. Artist shows a mastery of the media (this includes color theory, perspective, the printing process, Photoshop or HDR if applicable). 4. Presentation – The artist has presented the work in a professional manner. Frames and mats are clean, damage-free, and are appropriate for the piece.
