Formative Assessment

Formative assessment is an area of my

lesson planning that needs improvement,
this will aid my teaching overall. Through
more documentation of students work and
giving more lengthily in depth evaluations .
This should aid my planning of group
discussion , this is one of key areas to work
on next year.

Formative Assessment

After the first lesson when evaluating

the work, I noticed student were
largely not able to identify areas of
tone in fabric in paintings. In the
following class , I did exercises with
oil pastel. Students took to working
with the oil pastels well. I think it
helped their understanding and
translated to their paintings.

Summative Assessment

A Student
Knowledge and Understanding
Student was able to clearly articulate a strong
knowledge of colour theory and the steps involved in
creating a still life painting, in group discussion
throughout the scheme.
Research and Preparatory
Student excelled in preparatory studies and choose
an interesting composition. - .
Technical Skills
Student demonstrated a good clean working practice.
She kept paintings. She paid careful attention to giving
a sense of depth in paintings.
.
Attitude
Student was extremely engaged in class. She showed
great commitment and effort into developing and
completing the painting.

Feedback
Well done, you created a beautiful still life. In future still
life's it would be worth considering a composition with a
variety in heights. While painting reflective items, study
the object closely and paint any reflections of colour seen.
Your have shown a great variety of colour mixing.

Student As Still Life

B Grade
Knowledge and Understanding
Student was able to clearly communicate the steps involved
in creating a still life painting. The student when questioned
was able to describe colour theory in relation to primary,
secondary , territory, and complementary colours.
Research and Preparatory
Student completed preparatory exercises with ease.
Technical Skills
Student demonstrated a beautiful fluid movement of paint,
however the painting does not reflect the colours of the still
life. More consideration should be paid to variety of brush
strokes used.
Attitude
This student was by far one of the most engaged students in
the class, extremely eager in answering questions.

Feedback
Well done ,on creating an expressive still life. .You have
developed an vivid, free style of painting. In future you
should consider using a variety of brush strokes., use brush
strokes to create form. Try to avoid using white directly from
the tube when painting fabric as it can be a bit harsh.

Student Bs Still Life

B Grade
Knowledge and Understanding
Strong understanding in complementary colours and the
processes involved.
Research and Preparatory
Student completed preparatory work, but didnt really
engage in trying different object/setup for still life.
Technical Skills
There is Little variety of brush strokes demonstrated. Colour
choices, work well and student has demonstrated good colour
mixing. She kept a good clean working space.
Attitude
Student had a good working attitude in completing work but
didnt fully engage in class. She seemed more interested on
moving onto the next task at all stages.
Feedback
Well done, your still life demonstrates good colour mixing
techniques. In future paintings consider how the use of brush
strokes can create form in the objects. The different
brushstrokes will help you show the different surfaces, e.g.
the silky fabric against the hard rind of the Orange.
