Formative assessment
The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in art and crafts in Years 5, 6 and 7 when they use various strategies to create visual expressions and functional solutions. Further, they demonstrate and develop competence when they reflect on visual instruments, cultural references, artistry and environmental impact.
The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of practical assignments in workshops and by the pupils proposing changes in consumer and visual surroundings. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development in art and crafts. The pupils shall have the opportunity to experiment. Based on the demonstrated competence of the pupils, they shall be given the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and in which areas they have improved in relation to processes and products. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance to develop competence in creative processes, environmentally friendly consumption, crafts, visual communication and assessment.
