Formative-
· Work together as a class going slowly and discussing each aspect of the process as it is happening to make sure the children understand and to help when needed. You could have a class discussion on the important things you want to have emphasized in the artwork
· Have the children pair up, or get into groups and have them give feedback and input on other people’s work based on the guidelines for the project. Having them help each other should help them know what they need to improve on their own piece.
· As a teacher it is important to go around the room or have children come to you in a more personal setting and ask questions and give suggestions as well as telling the children what awesome things they are doing. Have the children tell you about their art and what they like about it.
Summative-
· Art shows
· Class discussions
· Critiquing
· Rubrics
· Journals
The most difficult thing to assess would be if a child were to produce a beautiful work of art; but the art created did not meet the requirements of the assignment. In that case I would have to give the child a lower grade for not following the directions. I would definitely praise the child for their creativity, I would explain why they would not be receiving full credit, and then I would give that child the opportunity to redo the assignment in a way that would give them the credit they deserved. Part of school is learning how to follow directions. When directions are not followed, learning (at least the desired learning) is not taking place. Perhaps to make it clear for the children, and to keep everything fair and consistent, I would create a rubric for the children before they begin the artwork.
