In my classroom I plan on using rubrics to assess artwork. The objectives that are stated at the introduction to the project are what will be measured. Did the student meet the objectives? I think a point system is best for this. For elementary students I would use a 3-4 point scale and secondary students a 5 point scale. If there are more than 5 I feel like there are too many variables that are trying to be met. I also believe rubrics should be given to students at the beginning of the project so they know what is expected of them and what they will be graded on.
In elementary classes, I think it is more common to assess artwork partially based on effort. I do not think this should be abandoned in secondary education. Similar to a student writing a paper for an English class, if a student revises their paper several times, they are putting in more effort than a student who writes one draft and hands it in. I think effort should be taken into consideration because if a student is given the option to make revisions and doesn't, they aren't putting forth as much effort as a student who is constantly trying to make their work better.
