EXAMPLE OF A SELF EVALUATION 
AND DESCRIPTION OF YOUR WORK OF ART
"Hi teacher,  
This is the description of my work and my evaluation. I am being very honest: 
At the start I had no idea what to do, then I checked some more drawings online, and I decided to do something similar to the Urban Artist Suso33 that you showed us in class. I am happy with the result. I think I have done a good job, because I investigated about it and It took time. I also have a good presentation (clean and tidy) a good composition (distribution of the elements of the drawing in the space of the paper), and I follow the instructions (a drawing of portrait with lines) finally I enjoyed it doing it. I think my work does not deserve less than a 9. 
Here is the video and work by Suso33 that I used as inspiration."
