Formative assessment
The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in art and crafts in Years 1 and 2 when they use their hands and tools to shape different materials, tell stories through digital and visual media, and talk about experiences with art, objects and buildings.
The teacher facilitates pupil participation and encourages the desire to learn through giving the pupils a variety of sensory experiences, the opportunity to explore and to share ideas and perceptions. The teacher shall have conversations with the pupil regarding their development in art and crafts. The pupils shall have the opportunity to experiment. Based on the demonstrated competence of the pupils, they shall be given the opportunity to express what they believe they can accomplish and in which areas they have improved. The teacher provides guidance on further learning and adapts the education to enable the pupils to use the guidance to develop competence to tell stories through images, shapes in materials and participation with their own opinions in creative processes.
