Elements of Art Exit Tickets
Teaching an elements of art lesson and need to use art exit tickets as a formative assessment? Polish off your next scheduled observation with this comprehensive pack of 100 unique exit slips for art. They’re practically no prep, easy to implement, and a total time saver!
I use these task-oriented exit tickets for assessing the elements of art in elementary and middle school art class. So, if your project is about line, color, shape, texture, value, form, or space, these make quick art assessments.
And, you can use the gathered data to inform your SGO/SLO.
Exit Slips: Teacher Directions
There are a couple different ways to implement exit tickets in the art room, whether it be as a bellringer or, at the end of a lesson or unit of study.
For example, you could choose an exit slip and have everyone complete it.
So, if you’re teaching your 4th graders about shading, you might consider picking the exit ticket where students use a pencil, a marker, and a colored pencil to create a 5-point value scale.
Or maybe you’ve just completed a unit about geometric shapes with kindergarten and you want your students to demonstrate they understood the concept.
You could photocopy the 5 exit tickets related to the element of art called “form” that begin with, “Draw things shaped like a(n)____.” Then give each student at a table a different ticket. This way you know they’re drawing original ideas and not looking at their neighbor’s paper.
However, if you’re a fully choice-based art teacher you may choose to print out all 100 art exit tickets and put them in labeled folders according to the principles of design. Then, instruct students to pick one from a certain folder.
Art exit tickets are a great way to gauge student learning concepts and assess standards. Each prompt comes 4 to a page. Simply print and go!

This resource worked great to further inform my instruction. It was easy to see what we needed to spend more class time reviewing and what concepts they had mastered. It was also appropriate for bell-ringer activities to connect prior learning to the day’s activities! Excellent buy I have used it again and again.

These Exit Tickets have been a game changer. Students are listening better and focusing better knowing they have to examine their behavior and focus each class session. It also gives me a record for parents of difficult students when I have to justify less than stellar grades. I highly recommend!!
Kryssa R. –
I am in love with these exit tickets. I started to try them out as we near the end of the school year but am excited to fully implement these cards next school year. I know it will help me a lot with collecting data rather than having verbal exit tickets.
Jamie E. –
This resource is wonderful for checking my students understanding, and it covers so many skills. These are easy to use and I love that it prints with multiple on each page.

Jenifer S. –
This is a great resource for us teachers who have a creative bug, but are never sure when or how to make things happen. I LOVED the color and line exit tickets which were the ones I ended up using the most. I would have used more, but my printouts were stolen along with my teacher bag out of my trunk (this included my district issued laptop, not terribly keen on using up my home printer ink). I’m planning on downloading and using this resource again with more of the exit tickets. Once again KUDOS to Glitter Meets Glue with another great art teacher resource!

I purchased this to copy and glue into my students’ sketch books for discussion and work. My students really like these and after the initial work of sorting, ordering and gluing they have been a lifesaver for those moments when I need to fill time when I need a breather! I sit at the Elmo and lead the discussion while we work on the pages.

My kiddos enjoy doing these and I have loved getting a chance to quickly look through to see if they “get it.” Sometimes with art it can be hard to check they all understand, but this is a great way to do that!

The perfect formative assessment tool! I love that they are small and to the point! These tickets cover a lot of the basic “need to know” information for each of the elements of art. The variety also allows teachers to effectively assess their students’ understanding.
Natalie B. –
I used these for summative assessment for our elements of art unit. Excellent resource for any year/ability level. Loved the variations within each art element.
