OVERVIEW AND OUTLINE OF THE PERFORMANCE TASK

At the end of a unit of study (semester-, or year-long course), groups of four students will curate and design an exhibit that displays their collective works. Five works of art are to be selected in advance by each student. Students should select their best works from this class (or alternatively, artwork based on an agreed-upon theme).

Students will be working together to arrange an exhibit of their work and should have experience in arranging artwork on the basis of theme, color, size, and other elements and principles. Student labels will be created to accompany each work. Students will prepare a space to exhibit their artwork. Teachers may find this useful in planning end-of-year exhibits, since this assessment gives students ownership in the exhibit.

SUGGESTED TOTAL TIME

This assessment has three parts to it. The assessment should take 150 minutes to complete, as shown below:

o Part 1–Create Labels (Day 1, 50 minutes)

o Part 2–View Collection and Agree on First Draft of Exhibit Arrangement (Day 2,

50 minutes)

o Five pieces of artwork created by each group member, selected prior to the start of the

assessment

o Computer access for each student

o A server or other method for students to save digital work

ASSESSMENT SETUP

The teacher should make sure that all students have selected their work for exhibit prior to the assessment. Also, determine the student groups in advance. It may be helpful for students to know in advance who is in their group.

Students should be arranged in groups of four at worktables in the art room. Enough space should be available for each group to be able to view their collective work. Computers must be available for Day 1 of the assessment. A server or other method should be set up for students to save digital work.

DETAILED SCRIPT WITH TEACHER AND STUDENT DIRECTIONS

Directions for teachers are in regular text. Directions to be read to students are in bold. Each student needs a Student Booklet, a pencil, sketch paper, and selected work from his or her portfolio. When ready, say:

You each should have a Student Booklet and a pencil. Begin by filling in the information requested on the front cover.

Pause while students complete the requested information. Then say:

Now turn to page 2 in your Booklet and follow along as I read the directions aloud.

Pause while students turn to page 2. Then say:

This assessment has three parts to it:

PART 1–CREATE LABELS (DAY 1)

For this part of the assessment, each student will need his or her Student Booklet, a pen or pencil, access to a computer, and a means to save digital work. When ready to begin, say:

Today you will write drafts and then type labels for each of your works. The narrative that you write will guide viewers through your exhibit and will assist your group as you plan your exhibit.

Work individually on your labeling. Use the templates in the Part 1–Artwork Label Templates on pages 5-7 in your Booklet to write your first draft. Use art vocabulary to recall and describe your thinking as you create your label.

When your drafts are complete, type your labels into an electronic document.

Save the document in the way your teacher instructs you. You will have 50 minutes to create your labels.

You may now begin drafting your labels. You have 50 minutes to work.

Pause while students work on the task. When there are 5 minutes remaining, say:

You have 5 minutes remaining.

After 5 more minutes, say:

Time is up. Save your work on the computer as your teacher directs and close your Booklet.

PART 2–VIEW COLLECTION AND AGREE ON FIRST DRAFT OF EXHIBIT ARRANGEMENT (DAY 2)

For this part of the assessment, each student will need his or her Student Booklet, a pencil and eraser, a ruler, his or her selected artwork, and sketch paper. When ready to begin, say:

Now turn to page 2 in your Booklet.

Pause while students turn to page 2. Then say:

For this part of the assessment, in your group of four, you will look at the five art pieces that each of you selected from your portfolios and combine them into an exhibit. You may find the exhibit label that accompanies each artwork useful as you arrange the exhibit.

You will look at the collective work of the group, first individually, and then together as a group. Depending on the size of your exhibit space, you may need to agree as a group to choose four of the five works per student.

Time is up. Be sure to put away your materials and save your work. PART 3–STAGE EXHIBIT (DAYS 2-3)

For this part of the assessment, each student will need his or her Student Booklet, a pencil, eraser, ruler, and paper to sketch out their plans. Each student will also need printed copies of the label documents each wrote and saved in Part 1. When ready to begin, say:

You will now work on staging your group exhibit.

By the end of this class, the group should have staged the exhibit area. Everyone in the group should have a role and participate in the group decision-making.

The Teacher Scoring Rubric that will be used to evaluate your Exhibit Staging Plan is on pages 3 and 4 of your Student Booklet. Review Level 4, the highest level of performance.
