Assessments in the Art Room

-->
            An assessment is an important tool and serves as an indication of the abilities of both the instructor and the student. The ability of a student to successfully meet the requirements of a lesson tends to be a reflection of how clearly the educator is presenting and communicating the objectives. There are a variety of factors that will impact the final outcome of an art project and an assessment will provide the opportunity for students to evaluate where they might have struggled and educators to look for reoccurring indications of confusion or other problems.
Self-assessments provide an opportunity for students to offer their perspective and feedback on projects. A self-assessment should be clear, short and simple. Providing a column for the student to evaluate their own work, another for your evaluations, and another for comments will encourage communication between students and teachers. This is a great way to determine what improvements you might want to make to your lessons and what projects are more engaging for students.
