How We Track Your Progress
Assessments aren’t about grades—they help you understand your current position and future direction. We employ several methods to illuminate your growth and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks, we sit down together and review your recent work. These conversations help identify patterns in your development and highlight breakthrough moments you might have missed.
Practical Skill Tests
Short, focused exercises that let you demonstrate specific techniques. Think of them as friendly challenges—can you create smooth graduations? 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 receiving fresh perspectives on your own work.
Self-Reflection Projects
You'll document your artistic journey through written reflections and comparison studies. This metacognitive approach helps you become aware of your own learning process and artistic choices.
