Art 1 End-of-Semester SAR

Directions:

1. You will email stephanie.r.grijalva@gmail.com, replying to our old conversation thread.
2. You will be prepared to conference, bringing your sketchbook, portfolio, (and any missing works) starting Friday, December 16. This reflection must be emailed before the conference. 
3. Please create a digital folder with your Photoshop pieces, and any evidence of extending your learning outside of the classroom.
4. Please make sure work is in order, in your portfolio, and labeled properly. You also will bring up your final performance piece, in progress.
5. Your final portfolio grade, based on three categories: Create; Relate; Evaluate (in bold within the assessment) will be recorded as part of your District CRT.

 Step One

Performance: Explain your overall performance this term. What project was the most successful in your portfolio? Explain. In what ways did you create? State your claim, support with evidence, and discuss the reasons your evidence supports the ways you’ve created.

• The major performance pieces for the semester include: Movie Poster, Infographic, Tessellation, Shattered Image, Valley of the Sunflowers Packet, Self Portrait, and your sketchbook.

Circle One: √+   √    √-

 Step Two

Participation: Based on the expectations for participation, how have you done this term?  State your claim. Include specific examples (evidence) to support your assessment. 

• In addition, what techniques/concepts did you learn?  Use specific examples from projects.
• Finally, how do you now relate to artwork, e.g. what artists, artworks, and/or new art terms enrich your term experience?
• How did you assess (evaluate) your work and the work of other artists during the term?

Circle One: √+   √    √-

Step Three

Progress: List what you can do to improve success in your portfolio. How have you grown as an artist (Claim)? What goals did you set and did you meet them (Evidence)? What have you learned about what it means to make art and be an artist? What do you plan to do differently starting in January? What are your goals for next term? 

Circle One: √+   √    √-

Step Four

Explain what grade you’ve earned. Use evidence to support your explanation. What, if any, evidence do you have for exceeding expectations?

Artwork of the Week

• Create a design for your own Mata Ortiz pottery
• Do a drawing that represents the Golden Ratio/Mean

Spread the word! Remember that a great way to extend your learning beyond the classroom walls is to do the DAIJ critique process with the works of the Mata Ortiz potters.
