Visual Elements of Art Evaluation
Line – The illustrator uses very simple lines to depict the story. The lines are delicate, but used to shadow and detail the picture. The drawings are very simplistic.

Literature Evaluative Criteria
Imagery – In the story the author uses words to describe the destruction of the dragon. An example is “He left a trail of burnt forest and horses bones.” The author uses very straightforward words to help the reader know exactly what is happening to help them visualize the story. An example is “She lifted up the dragon’s ear and put her head right inside.”
