Assessing Art

My cooperating teacher assesses art on an individual basis.  She noted that it is very important that you get to know your students and their abilities to be able to assess art fairly.  For each project the student's complete she has a rubric.  When handing in their final project, she has the student evaluate themselves with the same rubric she uses to give them a final grade.  This gives her an idea of how the student felt they actually did compared to her own perspective.  It is important when grading to have measurable points given, but art can also be subjective and vary from student to student.
