Abstract

In this article I report on a study into fine art lecturers? assessment practices in higher education. This study explores the ways that lecturers bring themselves into the act of assessment (Hand & Clewes 2000). I interviewed twelve fine art lecturers who worked across six English universities. Lecturers were asked to relate to me how they learnt to assess student artwork and what informed their judgement making. My research explores the interfaces between fine art lecturers? assessment practices, their values and identity/ies. My analysis offers a rendering of the ways that values underpin lecturers? assessment practices. The article explores the ways that lecturers? assessment decisions relate to their experiences as ex art students, their identity as artists, their own artistic practices, their conceptualisation of the arts arenas and the HE sector. My key overarching argument is that identity/ies and values underpin and enrich fine art lecturers? assessment practices.
