Formative assessment is when you give suggestions to the student while they are in the process of making their art. An example that the text gave was, “I love the deep colors and the way you combined them; let’s put your artwork up front on the whiteboard’s ledge and look at it together.” (pg. 60) That way they can look at it and the teacher can not only tell the student what they like, but also make suggestions on what they can improve on or change.
Dr. Christopher Gareis who wrote "Forgotten Art of Formative Assessment" states that “formative assessment is integral to instruction, requires constructive feedback and fosters student involvement."
Taking a break for a few minutes to talk about what is expected and have them reflect on how they think their art work is going and decide whether or not they want to improve, it is also a good time for the teacher to give feedback.

Summative assessment as defined in the text is “used to diagnose, to revise curricula, and to determine if objectives have been met.” It is a “summing up.” (pg. 60) It is the assessment that is done when the assignment has been completed to see if it was done correctly and if the instructions were followed. Also, asking questions about the assignment and seeing how they felt they did.
A good way to do a summative assessment would be to have the students do a self assessment first of how they felt they did, then you could discuss it together.

Also, having a guideline for them to follow so they know what is expected of them, printed out and given to them. Then go through it while grading the assignment and checking it off. That way they can’t pretend they didn’t know what was coming and act like they didn’t know what was required of them.
