I understand the idea of having a rubic for research papers and presentations but it is very difficult for me to accept the idea of have rubics in an art setting. Granted, it is important that a student, who may not enjoy an art class, to not have the idea that the class is an "easy A", I think that if there are rubics in an art setting than it should be grading care in a project rather than content. I think that the article makes sense that you can categorizes students as being novice, intermediate and experienced but I do not think that the article made it clear why it matters what level these students are in. I think that if you like art you should go for it and not have to be labeled at a novice or any other label.
In my Inpretation of Poetry class one of the assignments that we had to do was write two sonnets. I did everything that I was supposed to. I made sure it was 14 lines, had every other line rhymn, and had the last two lines have a change in feeling and made sure they rhymned as well. I followed everything that we had to do and then from there on I added my own artistic flow to it. I came up two two sonnets that I was very proud of and ones that had alot of emotions I was feeling at the time. When I got them back they were all marked up and alot of what I thought about and took time to put in it were questioned. I got a B+ on the poems and feel like I was marked unfairly. I followed the rules and the rest was my thoughts and they,apparently, were less than perfect. That really upset me and I think I will make it a point, in my future classroom, to make sure that there was effort in the work and to give every child their own creative license.
