Art and crafts (KHV01‑02)
Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims after Year 10
The pupil is expected to be able to
- explore the possibilities of craft techniques and appropriate technology by treating and joining hard, plastic and soft materials
- assess the durability of materials and possibilities for repair and recycling, and use different tools and materials in an appropriate and environmentally friendly way.
- develop solutions through an incremental design process, and assess durability, function and aesthetic expression
- explore 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
- analyse 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
- investigate how art, including Sami art, can contribute to social criticism and create artistic expression to highlight issues in their own era
- critically reflect on visual instruments and experiment with different visual expressions in a creative process
- create sketches for the renovation of local areas and model architectural solutions that meet different needs and interests
- become engaged in different types of visual expression and/or a craft technique, explore possibilities through practical creative work and present choices from idea to the final result
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.
