Assessments
|
In the visual arts, assessments can come in many forms. Final products, checklists, critiques, and written artist statements are just a few. It is necessary to have multiple ways of measuring a students performance and creations. Assessments should not be just assessments of learning, but assessments FOR learning.

Diagrams and idea Maps as assessment tools
Sketchbooks as an assessment tool
A student's sketchbook can be used as an assessment for learning. With regular critiques and teacher reviews, the students will be expected to use the correct tools and materials. They will be assessed on the quality of work within their sketchbook and on specific assessments. One such critical thinking assessment is the short answer questions shown on the page Introduction Activity: Reviewing Background Knowledge "How can we use a sketchbook to learn the Elements of Art?"
