MODE OF ASSESSMENT IN ART Portfolio is the main mode of assessment in all primary schools  A portfolio always includes reflection  A portfolio tells one student’s story Students will engage in recalling, Contains both work in progress and final thinking and sharing what they have artworks that students select to show and learnt from the experiences tell ideas that are meaningful to them. For example:  Documentation of process e.g. ART Sketches, Photographs , Visual PORTFOLIO journals , Written ideas  Documentation of Presentation e.g. Artist talk; Show-and-tell; Exhibition  Reflections  A portfolio is as much a process as a product Students will engage in collecting items in their portfolio and use the items in the portfolio to engage in discussion with their classmates and teacher to share their ideas or improve on their art.
