Excerpt
DULCIE TRAVERS, STUDENT ID #417336
SENIOR PROJECT: ART SHOW AND INSTALLATION
GRADE: 3.7/5
Student shows tremendous creativity and talent. Particular favorite pieces – Lady in Blue, Feet, Circles, and Maple Leaf. The piece Primal Scream in Red shows real growth.
But still, am troubled by the progression of light to dark in the pieces. Shadow Man, Fanged Scream, and Bloody Hands seem almost like a cry for help. Student has always favored the dark side of art, but anymore, I find her work worrisome. Have warned her that pieces like that will keep her out of a respectable art school.
Have spoken with both the principal and the guidance counselor – student tests normal across the board. No altercations, no demerits, not problems with discipline or authority. No recent reports from CPS. Wondering if maybe a talk with her pastor would help? Will recommend.
5 for effort. 4 for talent. 2 for shown work.
