This student decides to go full-throttle on the assignment. No measurements and no precision. He just goes right in and free-hands the shading. This shows the diversity in the classroom. No student was right or wrong. They were free to do their own interpretation of ‘A’ quality work.

 

Ms. Park and one of her students discuss work before he decides to start shading. Even though the assignment is subjective in nature, he wants to make sure he follows the objective guidelines she previously provided. Doing well on this assignment is crucial to getting an A in Ms. Park’s advanced art class.

 

Ms. Park, in the middle of her demonstration, refers to the chalkboard where she wrote her step-by-step shading technique and the rubric for the assignment. The rubric has several elements to it, but Park challenges her students to both to follow the rubric and has their own creative take on the assignment.

 

One of Ms. Park’s students attempts to mimic the shading technique taught to him just moments ago. But first, he decides to cut and precisely measure out where he wants to shade.

 

Audrey Park, an advanced art teacher at Sunset High School, demonstrates a shading technique with charcoal. As students watch, Park uses her hand to smear the charcoal over the canvas.
