How is Choice-based Art Assessed?
How is choice-based art assessed?
Because the choice-based classroom is structured toward individualized
learning, the teacher has the opportunity to authentically assess students’
growth and learning in their daily activities. This is done through
observations, checklists, and teacher-student conferences. Students are also
given frequent opportunities to self-assess their progress using various tools,
including rubrics, journals, artist statements, and discussions.
At APR, Art is a Honors/Pass/Fail course. Students are assessed in three main areas:
1) In Class Art Assignments/ Art
Portfolio: A choice-based art class requires each
student to follow their own interests.
In order to follow their developing artistic sense, students are
required to keep artwork and artist statements in an ongoing art portfolio. Every 6 weeks students are graded on their
Independent Project (a collection of art based on a self-chosen “theme”).
2) “Do Nows”: While they only take few minutes, Do Nows set
us up for success at the beginning of class and teach key skills.
3) Class Participation/Effort: Students are graded on participating in
discussions, staying on task and having respect for everyone’s efforts.
