-
Construct production schedules that organize project work into achievable tasks and milestones
Assessment Strategies
Projects (Production Scheduling)
Criteria
Project goals are divided into clearly defined and actionable production tasks
Tasks are scheduled according to estimated effort, available production time, and project priorities
Task dependencies and sequencing reflect the order in which production work must occur
The production schedule provides sufficient detail to determine what work should be completed during each stage of the project
-
Manage production work by tracking progress and adapting project schedules
Assessment Strategies
Skill Demonstration (Production Management)
Criteria
Task status is maintained to accurately reflect completed, active, and remaining work
Actual progress is regularly compared against scheduled production goals
Project schedules are adjusted when completed work, changing priorities, or roadblocks affect the original plan
Upcoming work is reprioritized to maintain progress toward project goals
Schedule adjustments remain realistic within the available production time
-
Communicate project progress, production needs, and roadblocks to instructors and team members
Assessment Strategies
Skill Demonstration (Production Communication)
Criteria
Project status is communicated accurately and reflects current progress toward scheduled goals
Production roadblocks are communicated promptly enough to allow assistance or adjustment of the production plan
Requests for feedback or assistance include sufficient information to interpret the issue and provide useful guidance
Changes in project scope, schedule, or priorities are communicated to affected instructors or team members
Feedback and production decisions are acknowledged and incorporated into subsequent work as appropriate
-
Define the scope of an art project appropriate to available production time and portfolio goals
Assessment Strategies
Projects (Project Scope)
Criteria
Project goals clearly identify the intended portfolio outcome
Project scope reflects the amount and complexity of work that can reasonably be completed within the available production time
Planned work prioritizes elements that contribute meaningfully to the intended portfolio piece
Project scope is adjusted when production progress demonstrates that the original plan is no longer achievable
The resulting scope provides sufficient opportunity to demonstrate the student's intended artistic or technical skills
-
Develop self-directed art assets through an iterative production process
Assessment Strategies
Skill Demonstration (Iterative Production)
Criteria
Consistent production progress is demonstrated between scheduled project reviews
Work progresses through appropriate stages of development rather than remaining concentrated in a single phase of production
Feedback is evaluated and incorporated into subsequent iterations when appropriate to the project goals
Technical and artistic problems are identified and addressed as the asset develops
Each iteration demonstrates measurable progress toward the intended final quality
-
Refine art assets to meet portfolio-quality presentation standards
Assessment Strategies
Skill Demonstration (Portfolio-Quality Refinement)
Criteria
Technical and artistic deficiencies identified through review are corrected before the asset is considered complete
Refinement continues beyond initial functional completion to improve the overall quality and presentation of the work
The completed asset demonstrates consistent quality across its significant visual and technical elements
Presentation choices clearly communicate the strengths and intended focus of the completed work
The completed asset meets the quality expectations established for inclusion in a student portfolio
-
Develop long-term production plans for self-directed portfolio projects
Assessment Strategies
Projects (Long-Term Portfolio Planning)
Criteria
Portfolio goals are translated into specific projects and production deliverables
Planned projects are divided into production tasks based on the work required to achieve the intended quality
Task durations reflect experience gained from completing and tracking comparable production work
Projects and milestones are scheduled according to available production time and portfolio priorities
The production plan includes sufficient time for feedback, iteration, refinement, and final presentation
The completed schedule provides a realistic production roadmap for subsequent portfolio development
