Unit 10 · Project 3

Final Examination

The final exam covers all vocabulary, concepts, and techniques from the full year. It includes a written section (vocabulary, design principles, and cultural context), a visual analysis section (identifying techniques and elements in artworks), and a reflection section (written response about your growth as an artist over the year). Review all unit vocabulary sections on this site, look back at your projects, and think about how your skills and perspective have changed since September.
