Instructions:
You will be instructed to create compositions using the materials provided to fulfill the
following criteria. After completing each composition, use the rubric on this sheet to
assess how well your partner fulfilled the criteria. Circle your choices in the rubric.

Criteria:
   1. Create a composition showing strong Unity using one of these methods:
       Proximity, Repetition, Continuation, Continuity. Use envelope #1 only.
   2. Create a subtle sense of Variety without losing Unity in the checkerboard by only
       adding to it from the contents of envelope #1.
   3. Using pieces from both envelopes, but only square pieces, create a composition
       with an emphasis on Variety.
   4. Make an extremely varied composition that still has unity and is not lost in chaos.
       You may use any of the pieces from either envelope.
   5. Create a composition that has a Focal Point or shows strong Emphasis.
