Art 2 will draw then use Watercolors to finish it out.

Grades

Grades have been uploaded for Progress Reports. Only a handful of students turned in missing work today. 1 person came in after school to work on something. The other 6 that said they were coming to work didn't show up. Grades were posted yesterday in class to show what was missing. Just an FYI. Oh and Art 2 students... Your Charcoal project, just a reminder- it's worth 2 Summative grades since we are going into week 4 of this assignment.

Week of Feb 4

Art 1- students are continuing their Design Projects.
Grades are being put into the system today for Portraits and for their Design handouts.

Art 2- Charcoal projects are due this Friday. I will be taking two Summative grades for this project, since we have taken so long on them.

Journal Check will be this Friday for all classes. Formative Grade for now, then a Summative grade will be given at the of the 9 weeks.

This week

ART ONE: Portrait Projects were due yesterday by the end of class. If students were absent during this project, they will need to make time to come in during tutoring times to do get caught up.

ART TWO: There was a Charcoal Project check yesterday/today. Students were to be to the point of erasing out their details by yesterday. If they weren't to this point, they didn't receive the full credit.

Today, Art 1 are practicing/Brainstorming designs and patterns for their next project.

{GRADES WERE POSTED LAST TUESDAY IN CLASS, I have only received a couple projects from those students who were missing something}

Week of January 21

Tuesday-Friday: All Students/Classes are to continue with their portrait projects.

GRADES!!! Grades have been updated. These grades are reflected from projects/participation as of Friday, Jan 18. Grades will be posted in class Tuesday for students to see what they are missing. Art 2 students work from Friday while I was out and had a sub, will be graded tomorrow and added as soon as I can.

I hope everyone reading this is doing well. The Flu bug made her visit with my family and hit both my daughter and myself. I was not able to make it as a chaperone on Friday's field trip. But I am feeling better and my daughter has been free from fever for over 24 hours, so I hope to be at work tomorrow. Being sick is the pits and I missed my students!

Heads up for Tomorrow & Grade status

Tomorrow (Friday, January 18, 2013) I will be out chaperoning a field trip. Art 1 students are to continue their project. Art 2, will have an alternate assignment since their current project is rather messy and I don't want give my substitute a heart attack. What they will be doing will be completed during class and turned in at the end of the class for a grade.

Grade status- I am 1.5 Art 1 classes away from getting Scratch Art projects graded. I hoped to of gotten them all finished this afternoon, but something came up and I was not able to. I will be taking it all home and hoping to have the gradebook completely updated by Tuesday.

Reminder that we have a 3 day weekend this weekend, no school on Monday, January 21. I hope everyone has a great weekend and returns back safely.

Art 1 Grade update

Scratch-Art projects were due last week. I however have not been able to get them graded. I hope to get to them tomorrow. Since they were turned in we've jumped right into new lessons that require lots of attention. So if you see a blank in the gradebook it should be filled soon. Weekly Participation descriptions have been entered through the end of this grading period and will be filled also.
