COMMENTS: Final Strengths1=#N's recent studio work in the #ProjectList unit was imaginative and creative as #e was willing to take risks, try new media combined with a unique approach. 2=#N's greatest strengths was #h willingness to listen to, consider and implement feedback and advice.3=#N natural talent is combined with #h high personal goals and #h willingness to give the additional time needed in order to succeed. 4=#N work is of an excellent standard in both technical skills and creativity. 5=One of #h greatest strengths is #h reflective mindset as it allows #m to constantly improve and build upon #h original ideas. 6=#N brings a high level of natural ability to #h studio works and willingly seeks out critique and implements the advice given. 7=#N has a very clear vision of what #e wants to create and works diligently to make that vision a reality.

8=#N was willing to give extra time beyond class to ensure that #h work was completed on time.9=In #N's practical work #e is always creative and imaginative producing unique solutionsto the set tasks such as in the recent #ProjectList unit .10=One of #N's greatest strengths is #h reflective mindset as it allows #m to constantly improve and build upon #h original ideas. 11=#N made great strides forward in the #ProjectList unit, in part, because #e was more open to critique and confident to be a risk taker. 12=#N showed a natural talent for #ProjectList and created a fine work that was both imaginative and unique.13="N's written work shows strong critical thinking skills as #e was able to analyse art works with an eye for detail and support #h judgments with evidence.

COMMENTS: Goals1=As #e continues #h art education I encourage #N to be more of a risk taker as it is by taking risks and trying new skills and techniques that one grows as an artist.2=One area that #e needs to improve is to be sure to always cite #h sources of information and ideas.3=#E did show potential in art with some of #h works being quite successful especially in the #Unit unit however #e was reluctant to make the extra effort needed to reach the next level of excellence.4=One area #e could improve is #h written tasks and to do so #e should seek feedback during the writing process. In that way I can help guide #m to meet the expectations more fully.5=Overall #h written work has been pleasing however in order to improve #h critical analysis tasks #e should seek feedback during the writing process. 6=With #h written work #h should read the task carefully, refer to the rubric and most importantly seek feedback before the due date. 7=In order to improve #h overall grade further #N needs to be sure to complete all parts of a task and refer to the grading rubric particularly in written tasks. 8=#E should seek feedback during the writing process and before #e hands the work in. In that way I can help guide #m to meet the expectations more fully. 9=Sadly #h lack of concentration on the task at hand is undermining #h success. In the classroom #e is very easily distracted from #h work. In order to improve in the second semester I suggest that #e starts with a new determination to do #h best. That includes; focusing in class, making smart decisions on where #e sits in the room and who #e chooses to work with, taking extra care at the initial planning and experimentation stage of the art process. It is important that #e remembers that managing10=#E does find critical analysis somewhat more difficult and I encourage #m to bring #hnext critical analysis task to me in advance of the due date for feedback.11=#E does find critical analysis somewhat more difficult and I encourage #m to bring #hnext critical analysis task to me to receive feedback before the due date to help #m be even more successful in the second semester.12=I encourage #m to read the task sheets carefully and refer to the grading rubrics.13=Most importantly #e needs to manage #h time effectively so that #e begins on #h tasks in a timely manner, has the opportunity to receive help and feedback and finally submits all #h work complete and on time.14=One area #e could improve is to take a more active role in class discussions and to speak more frequently in class. I know this is challenging but #e is surrounded by friends who will always support #m in #h efforts. 15=#H written work in the last unit was much stronger and I encourage #m to continue to perform at this level. 16=In the written components of the class #e could easily improve #h grades by; readingthe task carefully, asking for clarification if needed and seeking feedback before the work is due. 17=In class I encourage #m to speak more and wherever possible to use full sentences. I know this is challenging but the art class is a friendly environment where #h peers will

support #m.18=In the written components of the class some of #h tasks have been a little inconsistent in their quality. It is in this area that a little more effort and focus could raise #h overall grade.19=#E is often first to finish so as we move forward into the second semester I challenge #m push #s to attempt more difficult and challenging work, be a risk taker and let’s see what #e can produce. I am confident it will be wonderful!

COMMENTS: IB - IWB1=The key for #N to improve lies in #h IWB work. #N does many pages but often #e skims over the surface of the investigation. #E needs to go deeper, use a wider range of resources, include a critical analysis, explore the context and ideas behind a work to reveal why it is significant or what was its function. 2=#N needs to see and engage with art more; #e should visit galleries, read art magazines and books from the ASB library. This deeper level of research and engagementwith art will then help #m to be a more critical thinker and develop significant ideas for #h own art making. 3=#H IWB has improved significantly. #E now understands clearly the expectations and presented an outstanding selection of pages for #h final grade. 4=As #e continues in the class I encourage #h to consider new ways to present #h IWB pages so that they have more flow and are more easily read.5=In #h IWB #e does need to go back through #h book and make #h selected pages stronger responding to the many suggestions offered.
