Baseline Assessment for year 7

This baseline assessment can be used for year 7 at any point during the school year. Could be a useful tool for differentiation at the start of the year, or even as a summative or formative assessment part way through the year.

This assessment covers the following areas which are commonly taught within the curriculum in year 7, but could be adapted for a more bespoke assessment:

1. Basic Skills - formal elements;
2. Colour theory - knowledge and key words;
3. Space and shape - problem solving and imagination;
4. African Art - comprehension, colour and pattern;
5. Surrealism - proportion, shape and observation.

This paper can be marked by the teacher and used to plan and sequence future lessons on basic skills.
