S4.1 Bugs With Colour ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION

2-Page Assessment Notification for Bug-Inspired Lino Print Artwork 

The 2-Page Assessment Notification for the Bugs With Colout Lino Print Artwork is a comprehensive resource designed to guide Stage 4 Visual Arts students through their lino print project, perfectly aligned with the Bugs with Colour unit featured on our website and in the student workbook. This assessment notification offers clear, structured expectations for students, helping them understand the requirements for both technical skill and creative expression.

Key Features:

• Clear, Structured Rubric: The assessment includes a detailed rubric broken down into five levels of achievement—Outstanding (A), High (B), Sound (C), Basic (D), and Limited (E)—with corresponding numeric values for each level. This allows students to easily track their progress and understand the specific expectations at each stage of their assessment. The numeric value enhances transparency and ensures a fair and measurable evaluation process.
• Explicit Alignment with Visual Arts Outcomes: The notification ensures that students can clearly connect their work to key Visual Arts outcomes:
  • VA4-AMC-01: Making artworks to represent ideas that explore Artworld concepts and their relationships.
  • VA4-AMV-01: Using Viewpoints to explore and develop artistic intent and represent meaning in artworks.
  • VA4-CHV-01: Explaining meaning in artworks and the artworld using Viewpoints. These outcomes are explicitly outlined in the rubric, reinforcing the connection between the students' technical and conceptual development.
• Comprehensive Criteria: The assessment includes three key components—Artmaking Skills (10%), Creative Expression (10%), and Artist Statement (5%)—with clear expectations for each:
  • Artmaking Skills: Focuses on the technical execution of lino printing, including carving, colour application, and achieving balance and symmetry.
  • Creative Expression: Encourages students to demonstrate originality and creativity, integrating bug forms and patterns thoughtfully into their prints.
  • Artist Statement: Requires students to reflect on their artistic process, inspiration, and the meaning behind their artwork, with an emphasis on connecting to Artworld concepts and viewpoints.

Why This Product Works:

This 2-page assessment notification not only aligns perfectly with the Bugs with Colour unit, but also supports students in developing both technical skills and creative thinking. By explicitly outlining the outcomes and expectations, students are provided with a roadmap to success, ensuring they are equipped to explore their artistic potential while also engaging with important concepts of the artworld.

Ideal for teachers and students alike, this product enhances the learning experience, helping students create a meaningful artwork while developing their ability to reflect on and articulate their artistic choices. Whether used as a stand-alone assessment or alongside the student workbook, this notification is a valuable resource for any Stage 4 Visual Arts classroom.
