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!
