Art Rubrics

In the article, “Developing Criteria Rubics in the Art Classroom”, they gave an excellent and very common example of a rubric making paper mache masks. I found that seeing this example of something that most people are familiar with and have done at some point was a great model for lessons that we may do in the future.

For me personally, I never thought about rubrics in regards to art, I thought it was usually just something that you could be as creative and different as you want with it, but I can see how in a classroom like setting it is important to be able to assess the students learning and knowledge of the content at hand. For me, I love having rubrics and even for something like art it would be helpful for me to see exactly what needs to be done and what is expected of me through a rubric. I think this is important and therefore something that I will also show in my future classroom.
