How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessment isn't about grades—it's about understanding your current position and direction. We employ several methods to help you observe your progress and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Evaluations
Every four weeks, we review your recent work together. These discussions help identify trends in your growth and spotlight breakthroughs you may have overlooked.
Hands-on Skill Assessments
Brief, focused tasks that let you demonstrate particular techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you produce smooth gradients? Draw a cube in perspective? These reveal your technical advancement.
Peer Review Sessions
Sometimes fellow students notice aspects instructors miss. These organized group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining new viewpoints on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You will document your artistic journey with written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your learning process and creative decisions.
