Art Exit Slips: 100 Editable Exit Tickets & Writing Prompts for Elementary Art

Art exit slips are an easy way to check for understanding at the end of your elementary or middle school art lesson. These 100 art exit tickets are aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind and are an effective art assessment tool. Create custom bellringers and exit slips tailored to your art curriculum using an editable PowerPoint.

Either way, these writing prompts will communicate complex art ideas and give valuable feedback no matter where you are on the choice spectrum.

TEACHER DIRECTIONS

There are a few different ways to use these exit tickets, whether it be at the end of a lesson or a unit of study.

For example, you could pre-select an exit slip and give everyone the same prompt to complete during the last few minutes of class. So, if you're teaching about the history of Ancient Greek pottery, you might consider picking the writing prompt that reads, "How do we learn from the past by looking at ancient art?" from the Understand Art Worlds SHOM standard.

Or maybe you've just completed a printmaking unit and you want your students to demonstrate they understood the process. You might want to use the exit ticket prompt that reads, "How did you create your art?" from the Develop Craft SHOM standard.

You could also use an exit slip as a quick art critique or a way to survey student's perspectives on the art or artist. Prompts like "One reason this is a strong piece is..." are an excellent way to evoke strong opinions about works of art and the artists who create them. It's a great way to get students to think critically!

However, if you're a fully choice-based art teacher, your approach might be different. You could print out all 100 writing prompts, put them in labeled folders according to the 8 standards, and instruct students to select one from a certain folder.

So if on that day your class is focusing on SHOM Reflection, each student grabs a prompt in that folder. And with the number of prompts given, it's likely that you'll wind up with all types of reflection pieces that are authentic to the learning in your classroom.

Exit slips are a great way to gauge student learning concepts and assess standards. Each prompt comes 4 to a page. Simply print and go! All pages print black and white. Use colored paper for added fun.
