General Rubric for Art Lesson Plans

I found a nice rubric that can be modified to any/most art lesson plans. Click here for the link to the website. Here it is below also.

Name: Grade: Classroom Teacher: Score:

Date: Follow Up action (if any):

Elements and Principles	I planned carefully, showed an awareness of the elements and principles of design; chose a color scheme carefully, used space effectively	I applied the principles of design and used one or more elements effectively; showed an awareness of using space effectively	I did the assignment adequately, but it shows lack of planning	I completed the project, but it shows little evidence of any understanding of the elements and principles, no evidence of planning
Creativity/Originality	I thought of many ideas, tried unusual combinations, made connections to previous knowledge, demonstrated outstanding problem solving skills	I thought of a few ideas, or based my work off of someone else’s idea, made decisions, solved the problem in a logical way	I thought of one idea and carried it out adequately, but it lacked originality, substituted “symbols” instead of original thought, might have copied someone else’s work	I finished the assignment, but gave no evidence of trying anything unusual
Effort/Preservation	The project was continued until it was as complete as I could make it, I gave effort far beyond that required, I took pride in going beyond the requirement	I worked hard to complete the project, but with a little more effort, it could have been outstanding	I finished the project, but it could have been improved with more effort; I knew how to do the project but I didn’t finish; or I chose an easy project and worked carelessly	I completed the project with minimum effort
Craftsmanship/Skill/ Consistency	My artwork was beautifully and patiently done, it was as good as hard work could make it	With a little more effort, my work could have been outstanding; lacks the finishing touches	My artwork was of average craftsmanship; adequate, but not as good as it could have been, a bit careless	My project was below average in craftsmanship, showed lack of pride in finished project
Group Cooperation/Attitude	I was sensitive to the feelings of others, followed all classroom rules and willingly participated in class discussions	I am usually sensitive to the feelings of others, I usually follow all classroom rules and very rarely causes a classroom disturbance and participate in class	I sometimes am sensitive to others, usually follows some of the classroom rules, and occasionally cause a disturbance and sometimes participate in classroom discussions	I usually DO NOT follow classroom rules, consider the feelings of others or participate in classroom discussions. I usually cause a classroom disturbance.
