Simply paste the icons and emojis onto one of the 16 template slides, add your own criteria descriptions, and print. Customizing your own art grading rubric has never been so satisfying!

Each self-assessment rubric includes both a portrait and landscape version, where the later has two rubrics per page. 

To make a customized rubric for art, first copy the criteria icons into the far left column. There are 22 graphics to choose from. Next, type a criteria label, such as “work habits” and description. Then, copy any emoji faces in the performance rating boxes. There are 5 to choose from. Lastly, depending on the template, you have room to craft a unique reflection question.
