MODE OF ASSESSMENT IN ART

ART

PORTFOLIO

2006, Aurbach & Associates, Inc

A portfolio always includes reflection

A portfolio tells one student’s story

A portfolio is as much a process as a product

Contains both work in progress and final

artworks that students select to show and tell

ideas that are meaningful to them.

For example:

Documentation of process e.g. Sketches,

Photographs, Visual journals, Written

ideas

Documentation of Presentation e.g. Artist

talk; Show-and-tell; Exhibition

Reflections

Students will engage in collecting items in their portfolio

and use the items in the portfolio to engage in discussion

with their classmates and teacher to share their ideas or

improve on their art.

Students will engage in recalling,

thinking and sharing what they have

learnt from the experiences

Portfolio is the main mode of assessment in all primary school.

PARENTS AS PARTNERS IN ART EDUCATION

What you can do?

Parents and families can complement children’s learning and development at home by helping

children make connections between what goes on in school and at home to enrich their learning

experience beyond the classroom. You could:

• encourage your child to talk about his/her experiences, express his/her thoughts and feelings

and explain how he/she solves problems and overcomes challenges

• encourage your child to present their art portfolio to you and give them two stars (for things you

like) and a wish ( on an area you hope your child can explore).

• take time to engage your child in play/art making together

• understand that your child is naturally curious and encourage your child to explore and ask

questions

• refrain from judging when your child shows you his/her art.

• tell your child how happy you are to see his/her art and how it makes you feel. Encourage

him/her to keep creating art that he/she loves.

• Where possible, bring your child to visit local art exhibitions/art shows or go on a sculpture walk

to gather new ideas and be inspired!

The parent-teacher partnership is an on-going, collaborative effort to ensure that your child receives a

quality art education in which your child’s potential and talents are fully maximised.
