The Self-assessment below was created for eighth grade
students as a way for them to critique their own finished
artwork. The project is to paint a still life with tempera
paints in a Pointillist style. The students are introduced
to Pointillism with a presentation on Seurat and his
painting, "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande
Jatte". Specific guidelines for the project are written out
on the blackboard. In a few days time, most students will be
done painting and this handout is given to each student to
be filled out in class. There are subjective and objective
questions in the handout. The subjective questions give
students the opportunity to reflect on the decisions they
made in the process of painting. The objective questions
demonstrate back to the student how well they understand the
goals of the assignment. Students are asked to turn in the
completed handout. Ideally, I would take a couple of minutes
to go over the form with each student.

Sample Self-evaluation Forms
The blue evaluation form is general enough in content
that it may be used as an self-assessment tool for different
projects at different grade levels. It may also be used by
students as a guide of what to look for in each other's work
during group critiques.
This self-evaluation form is specific to ceramics,
but may be used for different ceramic projects.
