NOTE: Good teaching includes finding ways to give helpful feedback. By filling out a rubric and giving it the the student, the student learns the art teacher's ideas about art and how to become a better artist. Students also learn when they fill out rubrics about their own and their classmates' performances. Rubrics should not replace face-to-face teaching and learning, but rubrics may be a time saving way to provide some formal feedback. --mb
