Every month, we review your latest work together. These discussions help spot trends in your growth and shine a light on breakthroughs you may have overlooked.
Practical Skill Assessments
Brief, targeted tasks to showcase particular techniques. Consider them friendly challenges—can you produce smooth gradations? Draw a cube in perspective? They help us gauge your technical advancement.
Peer Feedback Meetings
Occasionally peers notice details instructors overlook. These organized group discussions train you to critique art constructively and gain new viewpoints on your own work.
Self-Reflection Assignments
You will record your artistic journey with written reflections and comparative studies. This metacognitive method helps you recognize your learning process and artistic decisions.
