Process Portfolio & Reflection
Process Portfolio & Reflection
Reflection: Reflections are done throughout the unit and will be reviewed at the end of the unit-Formative Assessment. Some possible questions for reflection.
Chiaroscuro Sphere:
After the Sphere and Background are shaded, evaluate: Was I able to include all 5 areas of chiaroscuro in my sphere? What did I do well and what could I have done better?
Still Life and Cross Hatch White Bottle:
Evaluate: How well do your shading, contour lines and cross-hatching represent the bottle?
Predict: Look ahead to our next project. What do you think will be challenging in the Drypoint Printmaking Project?
