Class 6 Arts (Kriti-I) Chapter 22, Assessment, provides NCERT’s skill-based formative and summative evaluation framework for Grade 6 Art Education—using a 5-point rubric scale, student portfolios, performance reviews and self-reflection across Visual Arts, Music, Dance and Theatre.
What Class 6 Art Chapter 22 Covers
Methods of Art Assessment & 5-Point Rubric Scale explains why art assessment avoids rote written question papers, focusing instead on creativity, critical thinking, technical skill and expression through portfolios, project evaluations and a clear 1-to-5 progression scale.
Formative & Summative Templates for All Four Art Forms provides chapter-wise formative activity tables and term-end summative portfolio/group-activity rubrics covering Visual Arts, Music, Dance and Movement, and Theatre.
How art is assessed: art assessment looks at creativity, critical thinking, technical skill and expression rather than right answers. Each skill is marked on a five-level scale: beginning, developing, promising, proficient and excellent.
Examples for each art form: summative tasks include saying what a kite means to you in visual art, identifying the main emotion of a song in music, and showing an emotion and naming its rasa in dance and theatre. There are individual and group criteria for each.

Formative assessment (ongoing activity-wise observation across chapters on a 5-point scale) and Summative assessment (term-end evaluation combining individual portfolio work and group performances).
