Nebamun Fowling in the Marshes - Unit 1 Packet

PACKET DUE: 10/1 IN CLASS

This week marks the conclusion of our Color Wheel/Color Theory Unit.

To complete and demonstrate your understanding, you will finish the Nebamun Fowling in the Marshes packet.

This assignment brings together everything we have practiced:

• Careful observation of hue, saturation, and value
• Recognizing symbolism and order in art
• Applying your knowledge of complementary, analogous, warm, and cool colors
• Recording your insights with clarity and thoughtful attention

The packet is designed to guide you step by step, so take your time and answer fully.

This is not busywork– it is the final piece of our study and will serve as a reference for you later in the year.

Instructions:

Complete every section of the packet thoughtfully, including:

• Preview and first impressions
• Observation questions (technique, design, light, space, color, symbolism)
• Interpretation questions (gesture, meaning, comparisons)
• Composition sketch

Submit the completed packet by 10/1 (Next Wrdnesday).

Late submissions may not receive full credit.

Reminder to Students:

As classical students, you are practicing not only the skill of observation but the art of ordered thought and narration. Let your answers reflect careful attention and a pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness in art.

Happy Observing!

-Mrs. Micek

Unit Worksheet Rubric (All Units, Middle School Art)

Each unit worksheet will be graded on a 4-point scale. 

The focus is on completion, effort, and reflection. This rubric applies to every worksheet throughout the year.

• 4 points (Excellent Work): The worksheet is fully complete. All sections are thoughtfully answered, the sketch or visual portion is included, and strong effort is shown.
• 3 points (Good Work): The worksheet is mostly complete. One or two areas may be missing or rushed, but overall good effort is shown.
• 2 points (Partial Work): Several sections are incomplete or lack detail. Some effort is shown, but more thoroughness is needed.
• 1 point (Minimal Work): The worksheet is turned in but is very incomplete or rushed, with little effort shown.
• 0 points (No Work): The worksheet was not turned in.

A Note For Parents: This rubric emphasizes participation and engagement, not perfection. It helps your student practice observation, reflection, and creativity while holding them accountable for completing the work.

A Note For Students: Effort matters! Do your best to complete every section thoughtfully, even if you’re unsure of the “right” answer. Write down your ideas, make your sketch, and turn it in on time — that’s how you earn full credit.
