Instead of completing one assignment at a time, you will:
Choose what to work on
Create work that shows your learning
Collect evidence of your progress
Reflect on your growth
You will keep track of your learning using a student tracker and build a portfolio over time.
This course is about creating, exploring, and understanding art through your own experiences and ideas.
You will not all be doing the same project at the same time. Instead, you will:
