COMMENTS: Final Learning Goal 1= #N should try to be more of a risk taker as it is by taking risks, trying new skills, and techniques that one grows as an artist. 2=In order to demostrate academic honesty #e needs to ensure #e always cites #h sources of information and ideas in #h written assessments. 3=#N needs to make the extra effort needed to reach the next level of excellence as it is well within #h grasp, it will just take a little more focus in class. 4=To improve #h written assessment tasks #N should seek feedback during the writing process so that #h teachers can help guide #m to fully meet the task expectations. 5=#H work is consistently strong and #e should try to continue with the fine level of effort and commitment to excellence. 6=In #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 refer to the rubric and be sure complete all parts of a task. 8=Placing greater focus and concentration on the tasks in class would help #N be more successful overall. 9=#E should aim to further develop #h written work by carefully reviewing the final product before submitting it. 10=#E should try to become more active during class activities and develop strategies to improve #h organizational skills. 11=#E should try to become more active in class discussions, contributing #h vauable ideas for the benefit of #h fellow class members. 12=#N should aim to further develop #h organizational skills so that all #h work is presented in a timely manner. 13=#N needs to manage #h time effectively so that #e begins tasks in a timely manner. This would then provide #m more opportunity to receive help and feedback. 14=#E should attempt 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=It is important that #e remembers that managing #h time effectively is an improtant part of being a successful artist. 16=#E is often first to finish #h work and should challenge #m push #s to review #h work carefully and attempt more challenging tasks or solutions. 17=#H should attempt to contribute more frequently and wherever possible to use full sentences. 18=#E should attempt to be open to listening to others ideas and feedback, cosider what #e has heard, then decide how #e wants to proceed. 19=#E should try to become more active during class activities and develop strategies to improve #h organizational skills.. 20=#E should try to become more active in class discussions, contributing #h vauable ideas for the benefit of #h fellow class members. COMMENTS: Final Strengths 1=#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 solutions to 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: Goals 1=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 managing 10=#E does find critical analysis somewhat more difficult and I encourage #m to bring #h next 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 #h next 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; reading the 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 lets see what #e can produce. I am confident it will be wonderful! COMMENTS: IB - IWB 1=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 engagement with 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.

I encourage #h to continue with #h efforts and to follow this advice and then we will see significant improvement. 4=All additional studio works and IWB pages should be adding value to #h portfolio overall. In addition #e needs to ensure that every studio work is supported by investigation work documented in #h IWB. 5=Finally I encourage #h to constantly refer to the grading rubrics so that #e is always attempting to meet the highest levels of achievement. 6=All additional studio works and IWB pages should be adding value to #h portfolio overall. In order to do that #e needs to constantly refer to the grading rubric, at all times trying to reach the highest levels of achievement. COMMENTS: IB Goals 1=A new school and a new subject #e has struggled at times to create works of the level of technical and conceptual quality required. In order to continue to develop the skills

needed #N needs to directly engage with Art more, surfing the internet is not enough. #E should take every opportunity to see art, to visit galleries and museums. #E needs to read art books and art magazines as they will help to develop #h vocabulary, ideas and open possibilities for #h own art making.

While #h work is very pleasing there is still the potential to improve. 6=There has been a steady improvement in #Ns work over the last months. #E has been more focused in class and has used #h time more wisely. COMMENTS: IB Studio 1=In IB Visual Art it is not enough to just make aesthetically pleasing work; it must also communicate ideas and concerns as well. 2=#H greatest challenge is #h technical skills. 3=In terms of #h work process I encourage #m to discuss #h works more frequently so that I can assist and guide #h towards appropriate artists and techniques to investigate. 4=In order to develop more pieces quickly #e needs to build on #h existing strengths. I suggest that rather than working in single works #e needs to create a series of works that will show both #h skills and #h development e.g. COMMENTS: Opening Sentence 1=#N has made an excellent start to the Visual Arts Elective this semester 2=#N has made excellent progress this semester. 3=#N is clearly a talented and highly creative artist. 4=#N's ready smile and positive attitude makes #m a valued member of the Visual Arts class. 5=#N has made pleasing overall progress in Art this semester. 6=#N is an outstanding art student and shows great talent and potential. 7=#N is a fine artist producing excellent studio works that are skilled and creative. 8=#N is an exceptionally talented young person who shows outstanding potential in art. 9=#N has shown steady and continuous growth in #h art skills throughout this semester. 10=#N is an energetic and positive student who shows great potential in art. 11=#N demonstrated steady progress throughout the semester. 12=#N is a fine and capable student who shows great potential. 13=#N shows excellent potential as an artist. 14=Creating art does not come easily for #N.

USE 'PLAIN TEXT' (.txt) FILES ONLY: Import files must be 'plain text'. The easiest way to create one is to download a comment file from our site and open it on your computer. On most systems it will automatically open in a plain text editor. If you make changes and save, the file should automatically be saved as plain text. On PCs it will usually open in NotePad. On Macs, usually TextEdit. In Word, and other word processors, use 'save as' (see Word File menu) and then choose file type: 'text only/plain text'. ADDING HELPFUL NOTES: Lines starting /* are for notes (like this line). They are ignored when files are imported. You can add notes anywhere in the file. Blank lines are also ignored and can also be included anywhere. COMMENTS AND LISTS: Files contain groups of comments and lists. Each group should start with either: COMMENTS: your-comment-name-here or LIST: your-list-name-here List names are 2-30 characters long and contain only letters, numbers, '&', hyphens and NO SPACES. Comment names can include spaces, and any other characters except: < > \ # (max length 50). Each group may include up to 20 numbered lines, e.g. COMMENTS: Science Yr7 project work 1= #N's work on #Science-topics was excellent. 2= #N gave an inspiring #Science-topics presentation. 3= #N received a well-deserved A+ in #Science-topics. 4= etc... LIST: Science-topics 1= Heating and Cooling 2= Light and Sound 3= Exploring Magnetism 4= Changing Earth 5= etc... REMINDER... lines beginning /* are for notes. So to import the two science examples above, you would need to remove the /*, otherwise the lines would be ignored when imported.
