Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop the criteria for evaluating art elements and visual elements in the subject of visual arts, the category of analyzing and criticizing painting works, 2) test the criteria, and 3) evaluate and improve the criteria using classroom action research. The research was conducted in 3 cycles: 1) Plan, 2) Do & Check, and 3) Act. The target group consisted of 3 people. The method was purposive selection. The tools used were group discussion topics and evaluation forms for using the evaluation criteria. Data analysis included qualitative: content analysis, and quantitative: finding mean and Standard Deviation. The research results found that:

Cycle 1: The results of developing the evaluation criteria consisted of the following components: 1) Content of the work: the work's content was creatively consistent with and appropriate for the specified topic; 2) Artistic skills: principles of visual elements, principles of art composition; and 3) Aesthetics: the ability to express feelings and perceptions about one's own work clearly and reasonably.

Cycle 2: Trial use of the evaluation criteria. The results of the evaluation of the evaluation criteria were at the highest level overall.

Cycle 3: The results of the evaluation and improvement of the evaluation criteria found that some of the evaluation criteria were not as clear as they should be in terms of their meaning. Therefore, the criteria must be adjusted to be appropriate and consistent with the context of the assessment of art elements and visual elements. The scope of the criteria should be explained to the target group to provide more details about the guidelines for using the criteria.

Research findings: The assessment criteria will help clarify the characteristics of students' work, and teachers can explain the assessment results to students, using the assessment criteria as a medium to create a common understanding in scoring and interpreting the meaning of the quality of the work as a standard for assessment.
