Addressing Primary Art Assessment Challenges

Kapow Cambridge understands that assessing art in primary schools is a complex task, often hindered by the application of linear assessment strategies meant for core subjects. Their tool offers a fresh perspective, acknowledging that learning in art is non-linear and revolves around creativity, technique, and expressive skills, beyond mere facts and knowledge.

Empowering Teachers with Confidence

Many educators face a lack of confidence in their artistic abilities and knowledge. Kapow Cambridge’s tool demystifies art assessment, providing clear guidance on evaluating practical skills, generating ideas, and the use of visual journals. This approach empowers teachers, regardless of their art background, ensuring they can confidently assess and nurture young artistic talents.

Bridging the Gap in Practical Skills Assessment

The tool addresses the gap in assessing practical skills in art. While traditional methods like quizzes and spreadsheets assess knowledge acquisition, Kapow Cambridge’s tool focuses on the practical strands of art and design, offering a more rounded evaluation of a child’s artistic progress.

A Versatile and Comprehensive Approach

The visual assessment tool is versatile, allowing educators to tailor it to their school’s specific needs. It builds a holistic picture of each child’s progress in art, encompassing making skills, idea generation, and effective use of visual journals. This comprehensive approach ensures a balanced and thorough assessment of each pupil’s artistic journey.

A Guide, Not a Dictat
