1. Did the student understand the concept of styles of art?


2. Did the student understand the process of composing a surrealistic landscape
   using neutral colors?


3. Did the student successfully complete a surrealistic landscape
   using neutral colors?

Students will fill out a KWL Chart (What do you KNOW? What Do You WANT to
know? What Did You LEARN?), which will serve as a pre-assessment indicating
what they expect to learn.
