Student assessment (rubric, product, observation) Pre-assessment: What is art? Are you an artist? Post-assessment: What is art? Are you an artist? Angel face picture.

Reflection: (What worked, what didnt, & what would you change?) Had 2nd group just color the skin tone of angel face under table instead of the whole head. It was easier for them to manage and cut down the time element.
