Then each student will pick a different tutorial from this site:

 They will sign up for one at the teacher’s desk so that there are no repeats.  They will then go through the tutorial on their own.  They will then type a one page paper on what they did, what they learned, and what they liked and disliked about it.  Finally student will present their project and summarize their finding to the class.

Self Portrait Growth

During this project students need 3 different self Portraits.  The 1st was a at home shaded version that they were to spend one hour on and use a mirror to see themselves. The 2nd they used a gridded picture that I took of them in class and they shaded it.  Finally, the 3rd was a stippled version that they used a gridded picture on.  These image are of one students work and you can see the growth from project to project.

Posted Note Critique

Students engaged in a posted note critique where they walked around and left comments on each other art on posted notes near their art.
