Have you or your staff ever wondered what makes a good piece of art work? Have you ever found it difficult to assess a child’s art pieces? Michelle Gaugy sums it up pretty nicely by saying: Every work of art has two primary elements: technical skill and creative imagination, which can be thought of as graph lines that meet somewhere. Generally, we say that an artwork is “better” - the higher the meeting point is of these two elements for a particular work, that is, maximum imaginative skill combined with maximum technical skill gives the best art…mostly. So on that note… here is some free guidance on how to support you and your staff in having the confidence to assess children’s art! Reviews are welcomed.
