To set up a class profile and understand where students are along Viktor Lowenfeld’s Stages of Creative Development, use these Farm Tracimal puppets and background pieces. Simply ask the student to make a scene using paper puppets of themself, a horse, a goat, a tractor, a barn, and other farm images. When they are done, follow the assessment tool to ask questions about the scene and the placement of the objects. Their answers will give you an indication into how they see space and size so you can know what to expect from your students when you plan out your visual arts curriculum.
