Formative assessment
Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in the subject. Pupils demonstrate and develop competence in Art and Crafts in Years 1 and 2 when they use their hands and tools to shape different materials, tell stories through digital and visual media, and talk about experiences with art, objects, and buildings.
The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate the desire to learn by providing varied sensory experiences, practical exploration, and opportunities to share ideas and experiences. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupils regarding their development in art and crafts. Pupils shall have opportunities to try things out. Based on the competence pupils demonstrate, they shall be given opportunities to articulate what they feel they are able to do and what they can do better than before. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt instruction so that pupils can use the guidance to develop their competence in visual storytelling, shaping materials and participating with their own viewpoints in creative processes.
