| Data Summary | Criteria used is listed below with a rating system of Developing Competent or Exemplary noted in how the student preformed. Adjustment layers, curves, levels and hue and saturation. :Developing 2, Competent 0, Exemplary 18 Layer masks as a selection tool. (6 layer masks assessed.) :Developing 2, Competent 0, Exemplary 18 Shadows :Developing 6, Competent 0, Exemplary 14 Transform tools :Developing 0, Competent 0, Exemplary 20 Blend mode use :Developing 0, Competent 0, Exemplary 20 Layers panel, groups :Developing 1, Competent 0, Exemplary 19 |
| Analysis Summary | Conclusion Based on the results, Students seemed to retain the Tools and techniques that where introduced earlier in the course as they had more time to work with those skills. More time is needed for students to perfect the use of shadows in a realistic way. Other tools addressed during the assessment included layer masks and working in the layers panel, adjustment layers, blend modes and transform tools which provided a very positive outcome.. |
| Next Steps Planned | One might continue to explore the use of introducing these techniques at the midterm period providing students ample time to work with the techniques on creative assignments. Provide additional graphic situations for the variable of shadow creation. |
| Learning Outcomes | Refer to the previous answer. |
