Common misconception
Evaluating is only saying what you like or dislike
Remind pupils that evaluation is more than just saying what we like or dislike about an artwork. It should help an artist improve their work over time.
Pupils might find it useful to have threads and yarn pre-cut into lengths to help them complete the sewing element. If being completed in the Autumn term, pupils could complete the embelishment in guided groups with adult support.
