The assessment of a child's progress in art is based on the child's mastery of the Texas<br />
Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for art. A child's grade in art should not be<br />
based on a teacher's quality judgment of the child’s artistic talent as represented by the<br />
art work produced. A child's progress in art will be recorded in several ways:<br />
1. Pre-test and post-test. Each student will complete the four pre-test and posttest<br />
art projects in the Elementary Art Resource Guide at the beginning and at<br />
the end of each school year.
