Dear Ken, Chris, ArtsEdders,
In my elementary classroom, we use a rubric. This device lists =
all objectives for a particular project within a unit. Often, the =
expectations relate to objective concerns such as craftsmanship and =
participation because these things are observable. The rubric is useful, =
because students are aware of what the goals of the art experience are =
at all times. "Good", in my classroom, means that the student has met =
the criteria outlined in the rubric. However, we engage in critical =
discussions (participation in these is included in the rubric) about our =
process and outcomes, this is when we decide, discover, and communicate =
what WE THINK beauty is!
=20
This is an =
interesting topic!
