This is what I will be looking for when I evaluate you and your work:
1. Effort: Did you push yourself beyond what you thought possible?
2. Work meets requirements: Does the work fulfill objectives/criteria stated at
introduction of project?
3. Innovation of design: Creativity/uniqueness of idea and development
4. Craftsmanship: Is work done neatly? Is there attention to detail?
5. Work done on time: Is work done on due date given at introduction?
Goals for this course:
1. Develop and expand your aesthetic perception (how you view art).
2. Develop and expand what you know about art and your skills to express your
ideas imaginatively (verbally and technically).
3. Gain knowledge of historical and cultural developments in art and various ways
for looking at them.
4. Learn and improve craftsmanship.
5. Make connections to other cultures and career possibilities.
