Write on the back of the grading sheet what artistic decision you made, what the different things you drew mean, why you used the colors you used (if that is important)? What is special about your alphabet?

Portfolio Rubric:
Creativity: are there drawings that show your interest and personality? (8-10 symbols or 4-5 drawings for A)
Creativity: is the artwork creative, original, and your own idea? Is it colorful and pleasing to the eye?
Quality and Effort: is the artwork neat and well planned, NOT messy or rushed?
Requirement: are both your first name and last name written in large letters? Did you use an interesting alphabet?
Requirement: does your artwork fill the whole entire space and is there color everywhere?
