How We Monitor Your Progress
Assessments focus on your progress, not grades. We use diverse methods to help you gauge growth and pinpoint areas for targeted practice.
Portfolio Reviews
Every four weeks we review your recent work together. These discussions help spot patterns in your growth and highlight breakthroughs you might have missed.
Practical Skill Assessments
Short, targeted tasks that allow you to demonstrate specific techniques. They’re friendly challenges—can you produce smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? These help us observe your technical progress.
Peer Review Sessions
Sometimes peers notice details instructors miss. These structured group discussions train you to critique artwork constructively and gain fresh perspectives on your own work.
Reflective Practice Projects
You will document your artistic journey with written reflections and comparative studies, fostering awareness of your learning process and choices.
