Description

baseline testing in artBaseline testing is a way of assessing your student’s ability when they first arrive in secondary school. In the UK we do this with students aged approximately 11 at the start of their first year in secondary school.  This baseline testing includes 4 tasks that they complete over 3 lessons.  The tasks don’t feel like tests and include:

  • Creating a collage to test manual dexterity.
  • A drawing task.
  • A quick spatial awareness task.
  • A creativity task.

This download includes a 14 slide Powerpoint that includes additional information for the teacher, clear instructions and good examples for the students. Included within the instructions for the teacher, is a structure to assess the tasks including a way to add weighting to an activity.  For example, if you want to give a heavier weighting towards creativity, you can do so.

Also included is a worksheet of collage pieces, a resource sheet of peppers to draw, a worksheet for the creativity task, and a mark sheet.

  • Baseline Testing in Art

    By arsymesartroom on (Verified Purchase)

    Needed a quick first week of Art III idea. This resource worked amazingly well. As we navigate the ending of a pandemic(hopefully), I’ve got quite an assortment of abilities in this advanced class. The Arty Teacher has put together a challenging but not daunting assessment that is achievable for students and helpful to teachers.

    Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

    I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

    I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

    I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
