| 1 | The State of Art Education in Nigeria: An Evaluation Of Student' Art Works And Art Teaching In Nigeria |
Evaluation in education is usually thought of in terms of testing programme, that is, measuring how far a programme has been attained in terms of the objectives. This is usually with standardized tests or teacher made testing devices Bloom, el, al., (1971). The aim is to provide data which will help schools to determine the future direction of programmes and promotion of learners. Evaluation of art process and product is what successful Art teachers strive to achieve. Part of the problems and inconsistencies in evaluating students’ art work are quality and quantity of art products. Lowenfeild (1982) suggests that after a teacher's initial introduction, both teaching goals and criterial should be adjusted as ideas take new shape. Evaluation in art, therefore, requires continuous redefinition in order to meet changing needs. Eisner (1972) suggests three areas for assessing art works: - Technical adequacy, aesthetic and expressive dimensions, and creative imagination: - as learner's abilities, teaching philosophy, stated objectives of a particular art programme. A constructive evaluation situation requires the contributions of both the learner and art teacher. | The Studio: The Journal of Contemporary Art Practice and Theory Published by Department of Fine Arts, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. pp 74-80. | |||||
