Lessons in this Unit

  • This is a lesson about how students can create a portfolio that will be suitable for an end of term assessment (jury presentation), entrance into a summer art experience (CSSSA), entrance into a post secondary school experience, and for merit scholarships.

    In many of our programs we have assessment in the form of a jury presentation at the end of each semester.  This experience is tremendously helpful for the students to carefully examine their creative process, their ability to think critically as well as display skill in technique.  It is also structured so the student has adequate experience in presenting and articulating his/her work in a professional manner to experts in the field.
