Feedback in Art

is ongoing…

It’s also very personal.

Art is by nature subjective.

Creating art is creative problem solving.Everyone does it differently.

Feedback can make or break a student’s feelings of success.

There are two kinds of

effort in Art

that require feedback…

Work EffortCraftsmanship= care & neatness

Engaged = focused on the task

Following directions = I cans

Creative effortOriginalityWillingness to experimentCreative problem solvingDemonstrate higher level thinking in applying new media, techniques, or concepts to their own work.

Effort is more

important than talent.

We don’t grade on talent!

3 P’s!

Just like playing an instrument or a sport, art takes

practice, patience, and persistence!

Feedback

comes from three sources:

Teacher Peers Self

Teacher feedback is…Verbal:Quick, specific commentSit down conversationClass critiqueNon-verbal:Thumbs up/thumbs downTable label feedback (in progress!)

AWESOME!

Keep it up!

OOPS!Rethink.

STOPChange now.

a directions W O R K a neatness

a unique CREATIVITY a stretch

Written

Rubrics based on “I can” statements are on each table as students work.

A graded rubric easily communicates exactly why any points were taken off. Points are assigned specifically to degrees of mastery of each “I can” statement.

Personal written feedback on rubrics clarifies specifics and offers suggestions for improvement.

Artwork that demonstrates all three earns a heart stamp.X# of heart stamps = invite only art activity!

hands + head + heart = Art

Teacher feedback as incentive:A true artist uses…

Peer feedback is…

Valuable!Students are encouraged to ask peers for opinions…

Self feedback is…Ongoing:•Check table rubric – “I Cans”•“Stand back” check•Written self-reflection portion on rubrics

•Fall 2012: students will track self-evaluationto gauge improvement… Improve effort/achievement score with each major artwork= becoming a better artist!
