How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessment isn’t about grades; it’s about understanding where you stand and where you’re headed. We employ several methods to help you track your growth and identify areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Each month we sit down together to review your recent work. These conversations help reveal patterns in your development and highlight breakthroughs you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused tasks that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you produce smooth gradations? draw a cube in perspective? These help us both gauge your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes fellow students notice details instructors might miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh viewpoints on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
