Assessment methods and criteria

Grading is based on your work, effort, attitude, class participation, and attendance & punctuality. The degree of difficulty and risk-taking of your projects will be of utmost importance in grading.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Workshops, demonstrations, lectures, feedback seminars.

We will have slide lectures, drawing exercises and feedback. The majority of the course time you will be working with your exercises. The approach is monochrome. The necessary supplies mostly students will get from school.

Student workload

In addition to class time, you should be prepared to spend 4-5 hours a week on your own projects (Presentation about contemporary artist and sketchbook). The Drawing Sketchbook is the most important independent project.
