Purposes will vary. Sometimes the purpose may be simply to experiment. While they're creating, they are making decisions about their methods and materials. The students can build on ideas they had before they started, or they can figure something out while they're working that leads them in a new direction. Creating involves finding a way to order colours, lines, textures, shapes, forms and images so that a thought, question, feeling, event, etc. is expressed in visual rather than spoken language.
Evaluation Observe the students while they are working.
Ask the students to tell you what they are doing and why they decided to do it. The teacher's observation of the student's process can be sued to determine how the student is ma king decisions about what he or she is doing. Become aware of the presence of visual art in their own homes, communities and surrounding communities. The purpose of this objective is to encourage students to see that the arts are a part of their lives and important to their own communities. The arts are expressions of people.
