How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessment isn’t about grades—it's about understanding your current position and future direction. We use several methods to show your progress and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we review your latest work together. These discussions help spot trends in your growth and spotlight breakthroughs you may have overlooked.
Practical Skill Tests
Brief, targeted drills to show particular techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you achieve smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? They help us gauge your technical advancement.
Peer Feedback Sessions
Sometimes other students notice things instructors miss. These structured group discussions teach you to analyze artwork constructively while receiving fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You will record your artistic journey through written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive method helps you recognize your own learning process and creative decisions.
