Formative Assessment by Anna Bruno

Word Clouds

Before I start teaching about the Impressionist Movement, I would ask students to write down words, ideas, & artists that they think are important so while I teach they are paying attention to what & capturing key points/ideas. After I am done presenting, students will highlight 3 main points, open their computers to a word cloud generator, & plug the words in to create a visual for themselves.

Doodle Notes

When teaching about Surrealism, I will ask students to write their notes as normal then after I will ask them to read through their notes & create doodles to correspond with what they wrote.

30-Second Shares

After I teach about Renaissance Art & how it is broken up into 2 different areas/categories, I would ask my students to turn to a partner & explain renaissance art in 30 seconds to each other.

Tripwires

When doing the 1st lesson of the year that involves paint, I would ask my students to write down 3 things that might confuse them or they might struggle with.

2 Truths & a Lie

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 20:30:58 UTC

I would use this common game to have students write down 2 things that are true/accurate about Fauvism art and 1 thing that sounds true but is false. Then they would read them to a partner & guess which is the lie

Roses & Thorns

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 20:42:57 UTC

At the end of each unit/project I would ask students to write down 2 things that they really liked/understood about the project (roses) & 2 they didn't like/didn't understand about the project (thorns)

S.O.S Summaries

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 20:46:36 UTC

At some point while teaching & doing projects based in pop art, I would present my students with a statement (S) related to or from a pop artist, ask them their opinion (O) about the statement, and finally ask my students to support (S) their opinions with evidence from the lesson.

Think - Pair - Share

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 20:51:40 UTC

I would ask my students to write down how they would define & describe art from the romantic period. After they're done writing, I would get them into pairs to talk about it & after a few minutes merge the pairs into groups to have group discussions. I would circulate the classroom to listen to what they have to say & collect the papers at the end.

Explain to a Famous Person

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 21:08:53 UTC

In my lesson about expressionism, I would have my students to explain the lesson to someone famous in an analogy that would make sense to the person. They would write about how an artist or event within expressionism relates to an aspect of their famous persons life.

Historical Postcards

atbruno527 — 2024-11-18 21:11:34 UTC

At the end of the semester I would ask my students to think about who we have learned about & have them write a postcard, email, or tweet to another historical figure explaining a work of art that their artist has made. I would also have my students attach a picture of the piece of art that they are describing
