Projects
1 hour per week. There will be a few projects that I do encourage the student maybe to retry or to create something else at a class time to share during our sessions with me later. Sometimes there is a few elements like doing stairs for example, and the student can elaborate or get really creative these projects and add to the pictures and create a storyline. And then they can, of course, send these as attachments to the teacher or show them during their class.Progress Report
Overall, art assessments serve as valuable tools for both learning and growth, providing students with opportunities to receive feedback, set goals, reflect on their progress, and ultimately, become more skilled and confident artists.Class Experience
