In the Las Cruces Public Schools, the Art grades are based on 3 levels: E for Excellent; S for Satisfactory and N for Needs Improvement.
Our Elementary Art Team came up with the
5 Finger goals. or the 5 C's of Art so the children could easily understand how to achieve success:
Creativity: Is my work original?
Content: Did I follow directions?
Care: Did I use my tools carefully?
Craftsmanship: Is my work carefully done?
Completion: Is my work neat and complete?
5 points= Excellent
3-4 points= Satisfactory (I tell the children this is Success, just not quite Excellent!)
1-2 points= Need Improvement: Keep on trying, Keep on growing as a young artist!
