Grading Rubrics for Participation in Elementary Art Class

Elementary school pupils can be quite social, chatty and often physically rambunctious. However, art class is not the time for these behaviors. Elementary pupils are not customarily graded on the quality of their artwork. Instead, they receive grades based on their participation and completion of assignments. Help pupils understand expectations by explaining that they must be on task, making progress on the assignment, with only art materials in the work area and without interactions with other pupils.

  1. On Task

    • Pupils should be on task and not focused on their classmates.

      The pupil should be on task for the entire class period. On task means being actively engaged in the day's assignment. The pupil should be focused and working on only the assignment. All actions should be geared to completing the assignment.

    Appropriate Materials in Work Area

    • Keeping other belongings out of sight helps to keep the focus on art.

      Only appropriate materials, applicable to the current assignment, should be visible and in the work area. Personal materials, such as books, toys or other articles, should be absent.

    Evidence of Progress

    • It's obvious that this pupil is working toward completion.

      Evidence of progress on the assignment should be obvious from the beginning of the class to the end. Simply looking busy will not yield evidence of progress. It should be obvious that progress is continually being made during the class period.

    No Interactions With Others

    • Pupils should not be interacting during art class.

      If the art project is an individual project, pupils should not be interacting with others. Talking, playing or having other physical interactions with other pupils is evidence of off-task behavior. The pupil should be focused only on his individual assignment.
