Good day all, 

As a student teacher, I am aware of the importance of assessment in FP classrooms and this includes art. But currently, the assessment of arts are neglected. There could be different reason for this. Some of the reasons can be that the teacher doesn't think art is important for the future and therefore she wouldn't do it in her classroom, she thinks that teacher thinks that the learners would all succeed in Arts and therefore assessing them would have no goal or she don't have time to assess them as teaching time available gets less. 

I would first make sure to include art assessment into my classroom. I can't make other teachers aware of it if I don't use that as well. I will them raise a campaign to all schools / all art teachers to make them aware of assessing arts in Foundation Phase and then help them and work out a solution with them so that we all can change the educational environment by making sure we use and incorporate all important aspects in the classroom. 

Thank you :)
