Grade/Criteria/Rubric

Grades are being updated today and tomorrow!!! I will post grades by Friday and explain to students how to go about assignments that have low grades or assignments that are missing.

Students are to copy it or write it in their own words the criteria for their projects. Then they will turn it in with their work on the due date with their own evaluation. 

Week of Sept 2

OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT!!! From 6-8pm. I'll be here!! 

This week, all classes are working on their Portfolio design. This will be the First major project for this 9 weeks. 

Daily Journals begin today! 

FIRST WEEK STUFF!!!

First Weeks aren't always the same but for me I try to keep it simple and Crazy FREE. The first couple days kids are still in a daze from summer, trying to figure out where to go, schedule changes and getting bombarded by the 'Nitty Gritty' of the school year.

I like to start out the week falling straight into getting creative and working on their first assignment.
My Art 1's and 3's are doing a Circle Activity and my Pre-Ap's are working on a still-life. I offered this also to my Art 3's so there are a few that have chosen to challenge themselves. :)

Today I am going over some Expectations of the class and informing my students about what they may be touching base on in here. Then they are to continue on their activity from yesterday. Those that finish they are to go onto another assignment about Personal Vows. Vows that they will hold on how to be in class and treat each other.

Tomorrow will be my Nitty Gritty!!! Rules and Procedures!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Thursday will be Social Media day. Media Releases and Personal Surveys.

Friday will be Journal Building day/Sketchbook outlines etc. And intro to our First Major Project.

YAY WE ARE BACK!!! YOU ROCK!!!

WELCOME BACK!!!!

Wow has summer already passed? It sure went by fast! This year is going to to be a blast and I hope you are ready! If you are reading this it's because you already know this page exists. If you aren't reading this now... then you will be :)

For our first week I am just basically wanting to get to know you and your skills. You'll get to know me as well. My Pre-AP kiddos will start the week fresh with their very first Summative grade. Details as to that will be posted later this week.

YAY.... ART ROCKS!!!!

See you all tomorrow!

Week of May 19

Final Exam Projects are underway starting today.
Both Art 1 & 2 will be doing a Progressive project. Each day, they will be given a new set of criteria. These will be Due May 30. Students are not allowed to take them home or they will receive a zero for their exam grade. To eliminate this from happening, I will collect them each day and redistribute them each day.

Are you Passing?

Reason I am asking this is because I am looking at the Drying rack and I still see paintings on there that were due a couple weeks ago. And I see several highlighted grades on the posted grade sheets, which means you are making something lower than an 80. We are in the home stretch children. We are all tired and ready for summer, but lets end the year with the knowledge that we PASSED ART!!!! If you are one that hadn't done the work because of various reasons, know that if you don't pass and have to retake this class, you'll have to endure all of the same projects that you decided not to do in the first place. That was a really long sentence.
So long story short- GET YOUR WORK TURNED IN!!! My motto still stands as, Something is better than Nothing. DON'T FAIL ART!

Week of May 31

Grades are getting filled in today and will be updated in the system by Friday. The Scheme painting for both Art 1 & 2 along with Daily assignment that was given on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Students are being reminded today that they are missing their work. Some will need to come in for Tutoring either today or tomorrow to finish painting.
