The arts teach children that problems can have MORE than ONE solution and that questions can have more than one answer.
Below is our Universal Art Rubric, we use this to assess our 7th and 8th grade students for each project. Each project also contains specific requirements and is assessed under the "Requirements" portion of the rubric. We want to get away from having our students be "A" students or "C" students and rather focus on where they can grow and improve on their artistic skills.
