How We Track Your Progress
Assessment isn't about grades – it's about recognizing your current level and future direction. We employ several methods to visualize your growth and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we review your latest work together. These discussions help reveal trends in your progress and call attention to breakthroughs you may have overlooked.
Practical Skill Tests
Concise, targeted tasks to showcase particular techniques. Consider them friendly challenges—can you achieve smooth graduations? Draw a cube in perspective? They help us gauge your technical advancement.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Fellow students may spot details instructors miss. These organized group talks train you to critique art constructively while gaining new viewpoints on your own pieces.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll record your artistic journey through written reflections and comparison studies. This metacognitive approach increases awareness of your learning process and creative decisions.
