Correct Answer - Option 2 : Thought and expression
“Evaluation is the systematic assessment of the worth or merit of a child’s task. Everything the child thinks expresses needs to be evaluated. It is the process of finding out the extent to which the desired changes have taken place. It is a part and parcel of the teaching-learning process.
Evaluation in art education is undertaken to recognize the progress of children in various areas and identify areas that need further learning. Children are supposed to express themselves according to their capacity and thinking. Freedom should be given to them to imagine, explore, innovate and then express. A significant and unique aspect of art evaluation is to systematically assess the child's thought and expression. One has to look at evaluation with the perspective of
- Individual creativity
-
Expression and the feeling that it conveys to us.
- Child’s intention behind the art work.
- Whether the purpose of the activity has achieved its goal.
- To which scale.
- Did the activity make any difference to the child’s thinking?
- How is the artwork fulfilling the need of a child?
- How can he/she improve the work quality?
Hence, we conclude that a significant and unique aspect of art evaluation is to systematically assess the child's thought and expression.
