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
