Assessing the Fine Arts

In this post I am showing a variety of general rubrics for art-based projects. For whatever medium and/or project you are using, these rubrics are connected to the Art outcomes on the report card and can also be adapted to suit your needs. These rubrics were developed by a committee of generalists teaching Art classes in 2013-2014.

Rubrics for art mediums include:

  • Generic Art rubric
  • Collage
  • Pencil drawing
  • Oil pastel and Chalk pastel
  • Sculpture and 3D design
  • Tempera or acrylic paint
  • Watercolor paint


If you would like the original documents, please email me at jrherman@cbe.ab.ca !

Grade 1/2 Shaker Experiment

Grade 1/2 students have been building and decorating their very own eggs shakers! This may seem like a crafty little activity. And for sure, students are excited to get into the paint and get their hands dirty as they try to manage holding and painting a 3D object. But not only is this a great fine-motor activity, it began as a scientific experiment in making predictions. Students were shown a variety of different materials and asked to make a hypothesis about what material would make the best sound inside a shaker. They were then given the materials to test and make observations, which became a language arts lesson in itself. Finally, students made their conclusions and began the construction of their egg. To see the pride, and to listen to their plans of how they will use them is exciting.

Mallet Percussion Instruments for Beginners!

Image
This year was a huge success with mallet percussion instruments and Orff instruments! I have been limited in resources and experience in this area of Music, and was actually attracted to this book by its use of language to coach children through these fun instruments. I would highly recommend "Mallet Madness" for new Division I and II Music teachers or schools, that do not have a Music teacher, but have some of these instruments: Glockenspiel Xylophone Metallophone Mallet drums or hand drums Log drums Temple Blocks Conga Any other percussion instrument you might have! Within the book, there are great reproducibles for posters and prompts for playing! And the lessons include everything from set-up to warm-ups, games and using poems to create rhythms and songs! I have ordered from this site in the past, they have a ton of great music books:  http://www.stjohnsmusic.com/
