500 When students are engaged in observational drawing, they will develop the ability to:
500 -- Compose the picture plane to engage the viewer,
500 -- Define form through value, texture, and line,
500 -- Demonstrate the creative use of negative and positive space,
500 -- Explore creative mark making,
500 -- Assess strengths and weaknesses through oral or written critiques,
500 -- Apply techniques of sighting, scale, and proportion.
600 All students will:
600 
600 -- use appropiate sketching techniques for specific purposes,
600 -- demonstrate a profieciency in drawing from observation,
600 -- illustrate and discuss ways to create the illusion of weight, mass, and volume,
600 -- observe works from various artists,
600 -- receive feedback on their work. 
700 1. Homework is used as a formative and summative evaluation tool.
700 2. Quizzes and tests are used to access concrete information such as vocabulary, equipment use, and procedures.
700 3. Project evaluations may take the form of group critiques, rating scales, checklists, written evaluations, and teacher interviews.
700 4. A portfolio demonstrates skills learned and personal, aesthetic growth. The body of work stands as a visual record of the creative process experienced throughout the semester.
700 5. Group discussions give insight into the creative process and problem solving, providing an avenue for learning, how to talk about art, how to view art, and how to improve one's skills.
