Student assessment in Arts Education is based on the foundational objectives in each strand. Two major challenges of student assessment in Arts Education are those of developing teachers' observation skills and their record-keeping abilities.

All art works have their own sense of order and composition.
All artists make decisions about how to compose their ideas, whether they work formally or rely on random occurrences. This unit encourages students to look at order in its many forms in the environment, and to explore the many possibilities for order in moving from idea to art expression. This mini-unit introduces some of the principles and concepts used by artists in executing their ideas for art works. Review formal and informal pattern. Create patterns using simple print-making techniques.
