Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims after Year 10
The pupil is expected to be able to
- the possibilities of craft techniques and appropriate technology by treating and joining hard, plastic and soft materials
To explore refers to experiencing and experimenting, often encouraging curiosity and sense of wonder. To explore may mean to sense, seek, discover, observe and examine. In some cases, to explore means to investigate different aspects of an issue through open and critical discussion. To explore may also mean testing or trying out and evaluating work methods, products or equipment.
- the durability of materials and possibilities for repair and recycling, and
To assess means to consider different aspects of an issue or point of view. It may also include judging the quality of a product or process. An assessment often results in a decision, a judgement or a conclusion.
different tools and materials in an appropriate and environmentally friendly way.To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.
- solutions through an incremental design process, and
To develop means to design, create, model or shape a new method, a product or a service.
durability, function and aesthetic expressionTo assess means to consider different aspects of an issue or point of view. It may also include judging the quality of a product or process. An assessment often results in a decision, a judgement or a conclusion.
- how digital tools and new technology may provide possibilities for different types of communication and experiences in creative processes and products

- visualise shape with the aid of freehand drawings, blueprints, models and digital tools
- how identity and attachment to a place are communicated in architecture, dress traditions, art or objects, and integrate cultural references in their own creative work
To analyse means to investigate an issue, an object or a concept to determine a viewpoint or meaning. To analyse can also mean making a thorough or systematic study of individual elements and comparing the relationship between them. The analysis can also apply to a work process.
- investigate how art, including Sami art, can contribute to social criticism and create artistic expression to highlight issues in their own era
- criticallyon visual instruments and experiment with different visual expressions in a creative process
To reflect means to examine and consider different aspects of your own and others’ actions, attitudes and ideas. We may also reflect on a subject, practical activities or our own learning. Reflection means testing out our own thoughts and attitudes to develop better insight and understanding.
- create sketches for the renovation of local areas and model architectural solutions that meet different needs and interests

choices from idea to the final resultTo present means to show, explain and outline a topic or a product. The way of presenting may vary, but the goal of the presentation is to make the topic or product accessible to others. To present may also mean to illustrate and to demonstrate.
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 8, 9 and 10 when they use various strategies and practical problem solving when working on visualisation, with different materials and digital tools. Further, they demonstrate and develop competence when they reflect on environmentally-friendly consumption, visual instruments, cultural references and artistry.
The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through a variety of practical assignments in workshops and by the pupils highlighting current issues through creative processes. 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 reflect on their own academic development 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 practical problem solving, creative processes, visual communication, and reflection on visual and material cultures.
Assessment of coursework
The grades awarded for coursework reflect the overall competence of the pupil in art and crafts at the end of the education after Year 10. The teacher plans and facilitates the pupils in demonstrating their competence in various ways, including awareness, reflection and critical thinking in various contexts. The teacher awards grades in art and crafts based on the pupil's craft skills in relation to different materials, and their use of creative strategies and competence to visualise ideas. The grade is also based on how the pupil reflects on aesthetic expression, cultural references, function and durability in their own work and the work of others.
