300 1. What are the qualities of a good sketchbook journal?
300 2. How does an artist document personal ideas?
300 3. How does a variety of media affect expressive ideas?
400 This unit emphasizes creating an outlet for visual expression and creativity, using elements and principles of design to stimulate personal meaning and expression, having ongoing assignments to be worked on each week of the semester, working with a variety of techniques and media to meet given criteria, developing designs and compositions to be interactive with the viewer, having observational and figurative assignments.
500 When students are creating their sketchbook journals, they will develop the ability to:
500 
500 -- intrepret and demonstrate appropiate sketching techniques for specific purposes,
500 -- demonstrate a proficiency in drawing from observation,
500 -- observe and respond to  the figure as expressive subject matter,
500 -- use appropiate  tools and techniques to achieve specific effects,
500 -- illustrate ways that illusions of weight, mass, and volume are achieved in drawing,
500 -- demonstrate good compositonal skills,
500 -- express feelings through the venue of several medias,

700 1. Project evaluations may take the form of group critiques, rating scales, checklists, written evaluations, and teacher interviews.
700 2. 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 3. 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.
