How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessments aren't about marks—they help you understand your current position and direction. We employ several methods to reveal your progress and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we review your latest work together. These conversations reveal patterns in your growth and spotlight breakthrough moments you might have overlooked.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, targeted exercises that showcase particular techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you produce smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? They help us observe your technical advancement.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes fellow students spot things instructors miss. These structured group discussions train you to evaluate artwork constructively while gaining new perspectives on your own pieces.
Self-Reflection Projects
You’ll document your artistic journey with written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your learning process and artistic decisions.
