How We Track Your Progress
Assessment isn't about grades – it's about understanding where you are and where you're headed. We use multiple methods to help you see your development and pinpoint areas for focused practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we meet to review your recent work. These discussions help identify patterns in your growth and spotlight breakthrough moments you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, targeted exercises that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges – can you create smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us both see your technical progress.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while gaining fresh perspectives 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.
