This document provides evaluation criteria for a cliché-verre printmaking assignment. It will be graded based on four main criteria: 1) The quality of the prints and experimental etchings on transparency film (20 points). 2) Application of studio skills and darkroom techniques (10 points). 3) The clarity and design of the chosen image and placement of the etching (10 points). 4) The presentation and avoidance of blemishes in the final prints (10 points). Up to 50 total points can be earned, with additional points for carefully matting one of the prints. The assignment also includes short closing questions about the process.

evaluation criteria

______ (20 points) Problem


 You have created two high-quality cliché-verre prints that each have a wide range of values, and clearly presents a
photographic image combined with a hand-made, experimental “etching” on a transparency.
 You have created at least two experimental etchings on transparency film, and have submitted these etchings with
your final prints.
Comments:

______ (10 points) Studio Skills & Techniques


 You have thoughtfully applied/removed the printing ink on your transparency, considering it’s texture, pattern, or
other visual effect of interest.
 You have created test strips to experiment with different aperture and exposure times to determine the correct
exposure for each print.
 You have used various darkroom equipment (grain focusers, filters, easels, etc.) and effective problem solving
when necessary to obtain a strong exposure.
 You have experimented with combining your etching with your image in a variety of ways to identify an interesting,
well-designed final product.
Comments:

______ (10 points) Image Clarity/Design:


 You have chosen a high quality negative with which to make these prints, so the image quality is strong.
 You have considered how the placement of the etching will effect the final composition and visual clarity of the
image from your negative.
Comments:

______ (10 points) Presentation


 Your final prints have been carefully trimmed if necessary.
 You have avoided unwanted chemical stains, dust, or other distracting blemishes/marks that take away from your
final design.
 Extra Credit (3 points): You have matted your best print carefully by centering the image, keeping a consistent
border, and effectively pressing your print onto the matte board.

______ (50 points) TOTAL

Closing Questions (10 points)


1) Explain what you find most interesting or enjoyable about the process of exposing and using the cliché-verre process:

2) Explain the compositional/design decisions you made when making your “etching,” choosing an exposure to work with,
and combining the two together:
3) Do you feel your final cliché-verre prints are successful? What makes them successful in your own opinion?
