cur·ric·u·lum (k-rky-lm) Origin: L, lit., a running course, race, career latin; currere, to run a fixed series of studies required, as in a college, for graduation, qualification in a major field of study, etc. I love questions. Well, some questions, the ones that cut to the chase. Certain questions are fun, like, "Does God have favorite colors?" He does use blue and green alot. Some questions are tricky. How about these: Where is the line that separates contentment and apathy? When does confidence become arrogance? What is the value of a teardrop, or a timely word? And then, there are questions that chafe our minds, leaving blisters on our pride. These are the questions that speak to underlying issues. These are the questions we pose to ourselves. A few weeks ago a parent said to me, "I don't even know what you do." What I do? I was offended. For nearly two years her child has been a student in my art classes. Then I asked myself, "What did she mean by that?" My mind traveled all over the board, from the Slough of Despond to the Valley of Humiliation (to borrow from John Bunyan). I searched the ancient records (my lesson plans), checking them against State and National Standards (which they met or exceeded). Finally, a classic movie line came to me- "What we've got here is failure to communicate" (voted #11 in American Film Institutes' 100 Movie Quotes Poll- click here to see the entire list), from Cool Hand Luke. Daily, I am inundated with the thought process of the teenage mind so I understand a few things about it (2 of my 5 children still remain in this category). Here is one thing I know- as a general rule, teenagers don't communicate well with their parents, especially when it comes to school-related matters. And, in their defense, after spending all day doing schoolwork they don't want to give a recap in the evening. As a result, many parents have no idea what occurs in their child's classrooms, unless something exciting or challenging happens, and that is why the comment from the parent went deep. My job, as a teacher, is to communicate. I am called to meet students where they are and lead them further. I must be persistent and consistent. This includes ongoing conversation with parents. So, I must say, "Thank you!" to the parent who reminded me that my job doesn't end when the bell rings. I have been asked, on occasion, "How did my child get a 'C' in Art?" Here is the answer- 1. Occasionally pays attention 2. Completes every other assignment (odd or even, the student's choice) 3. Finishes assignments as quickly, and poorly, as possible 4. Files a formal request for mediocrity (see below) Formal Request For Mediocrity On a more serious note, here is the rubric I developed for Westminster Academy, Memphis, TN-

Students use an Art self-evaluation to critique themselves and aid in the grading process.
Oh no! It's the big A word. ASSESSMENT! While it can be scary and intimidating to create numeric grades for an entire student body, there are simple tools that I use to make my job a little easier. I do not believe in grading an elementary student based on how well they can draw. That's so.... subjective! For the past several years, I have been a member of an elementary art PLC (professional learning community). Last year, we met once a month to discuss teaching strategies, assessment, evaluation, and a slew of other fun topics. During one meeting, we decided to design a basic rubric that could be used across the board in an elementary art room. Here is the result. Now, I know that this a VERY simple rubric. However, I have had a beneficial time using this skeleton to create worthwhile assessment of student work. The rubric basically scores being on task, craftsmanship/ creativity, and following directions and meeting goals. When it is time to assess student work, I will review the objectives for the lesson and write the goals on the board. Students are required to self assess as to whether or not they completed all the goals. In essence, we create a checklist. For instance... Did you... *Create an animal with shapes and textures *Fill the space with a habitat for your animal *Show foreground, middleground, and background Using a 10 point system makes grading simple and easy. I post the rubric and the grading scale in a highly visible place in my room, so as to familiarize students with the process from the beginning of the year. It also enables me to remain transparent when discussing my grading practices with colleagues and parents. I want everyone to understand that my class is a standards based class, with true numerical grades and assessments.

At last! A wonderful, objective way to grade art projects! This quick and easy rubric bases its assessment on students learning process and techniques used, not their artistic talent. Being completely editable allows for you to personalize it to your specific needs! The following five criteria are addressed; 1. Listening to & Following directions 2. Proper Use & Application of Materials 3. Effort 4. Creativity 5. Participation Using a 1 to 4 point scale, this easy and effective Art rubric will make grading art work fast and guilt free! Note: I always remind my students that their grade is not based on talent or their final product but their participation, cooperation and effort. We as teachers know that when students fully participate, fully cooperate, and put forth their best effort, they will naturally be more pleased with their end project...and thus, their grade!
I often make entirely original rubrics, this one is borrowed from many sources. I think some of this may have come from Marvin Bartel. The important thing in designing rubrics is that YOU believe what you are evaluating is important and you consider what the students think is important. Rubrics are a collaboration between student and teacher.
This is a simple art rubric to use when evaluating students' work. This rubric can aid students in achieving their best work possible.

Here is why I think art rubrics are important, how to use them and how to create a rubric for your art lessons.
Well, after two days of working on these, I think I'm ready to share the self-portrait rubrics for K-6. I started with Kindergarten and 6th grade, and then worked my way up/down to make sure each rubric was slightly different based on what each grade covers throughout the year. I tried to make they were vague enough that I won't have to change them based on if I slightly change the self-portrait project from year to year. (For example if I have them do a shoulder-up portrait in 6th grade for one year and the next I decide to have them do a full body self-portrait.) I'm pretty happy with them right now, may need to go in and change some wording, but they otherwise have all the information on them that I want. Did I leave anything out of these???
Art. teacher. are. busy! Period! We put SO much time into project planning, material preparation, project execution, helping students one on one.... the list goes on and on. Over the years, I sought to make a universal art project grading rubric that made grading efficient, effective, and routine. Something that I found that worked for
Welcome to Art Room 104! Well, I no longer teach in room 104...it's now room 309, but the heart is still there! I have now transitioned into teaching 7th-12th grades, and my focus is now moving towards Choice Based Learning in the art room. Join me on my journey as I enter new territory, experiment, and share how I fit it all into the realm of Common Core!

Included in this packet: --example of student art with completed rubric --full page rubric --half-page rubrics --quarter-page rubrics This elementary art rubric is advanced enough to give fair and proper grades and simple enough for use at the primary level. This rubric allows you to grade your students' art using more than just a checklist. You grade the students on 4 categories: Met project criteria, Craftsmanship, Creativity and Behavior. This rubric will fit to any classroom, grade level, and project. I teach Art at an elementary school and I use this rubric a couple of different ways in my class. I think both ways are very useful. I regularly use the traditional way- grading the artwork myself using the rubric and recording grades. However, I also give the students a rubric and their art and have them grade themselves. This saves ME a lot of time and it gives the students a chance to be reflective about their final piece if art, which is something I am always pushing for. Once the students grade their art, I still go back and add comments and check their grades. This Visual Art Rubric is all you need for grading in your Elementary Art classroom! [email protected]
