Does proficiency require the use of any particular media?
A. Proficiency standards, assessments, and portfolio requirements should be opportunities for students to explore, analyze, and achieve high levels of competency in a variety of media, techniques and processes. There are no intentions to limit the use of any materials. The expectation is that regardless of the material, the work and process for creating reflects the way artists solve problems and communicate. Portfolio work must be proficient; therefore it must achieve a level of craftsmanship.
