| The goal of this particular
unit is to emphasize the use of the rubric as a
tool for authentic assessment. Most art programs
are studio based, and still life is a commonly used modality.
In this unit of study, its transformation from realism
to cubism is the vehicle through which students are guided
through the critiquing process. Although lessons
vary from classroom, the critique process of this activity
can be easily replicated to suit any still life or, even,
other modality. |
