STUDENT ASSESSMENT
Evaluation of a student is done through a
portfolio assessment. They provide insight into how
a student has grown creatively and which media and
techniques have been explored in school. Portfolios
will also include many other items that yield
pieces of information concerning student
development and learning. In addition to finished
works of art, Kamehameha students' portfolios may
include:
1. Sketches, studies, and preliminary works.
2. Samples (a collection of images that have
influenced the student artist).
3. Reproductions of works by the student's
favorite artists.
4. Written notes and thoughts concerning the
creative process.
5. Comments about the problem solving that
accompanies going from preliminary ideas to the
finished product.
Other techniques used for assessment are:
1. Teacher-made check sheets and rubrics which
allows students to verify whether they have met all
the criteria included in a visual problem solving
assignment. This also helps to reinforce the visual
concepts the teacher intended the students to
learn.
2. Anecdotal Records such as student journals
and sketchbooks are collected periodically to
highlight student attitudes, preferences,
judgements, participation, and behavior. The
teacher often makes brief comments about the works
or student statements.
3. Informal or Process Evaluations are conducted
in which students are asked to make oral or written
statements about their work, fill out a reflection
sheet structured to encourage them to bring their
artistic decision making to a conscious level or
provide responses to who, what, when, where, and
why questions posed by the teacher as part of a
classroom discussion.
4. Formal Critiques of student work is done on
an individual basis or in small groups usually as a
culminating activity.
As a result of these assessment techniques, an
accurate evaluation of student progress,
performance, attitude, and behavior can be
completed.
