Week of Feb. 3

Just to get this out there. I feel like a real slacker. These past couple of weeks have been a blur for me as a teacher and I do apologize for my actions. I don't normally lag on time on getting things graded and entered. I had great intentions on getting projects graded this past weekend then forgot my things in the office as I left on Friday. OOPS...

Today I am remind students that their Scratchboards, Mirror Practices and Grid practice/Review is to be turned in today before they leave. I am working as quick as I can today to get caught up along with teaching/reviewing and prepping supplies for their current projects.

Both Art 1 & 2 are working on Portraits.
Art 1- are working with Pencil with pictures of themselves that I took myself and printed for them.
Art 2- are working on Charcoal Reverse Drawings with either pictures they took of themselves or of another person. If they don't have an image ready by now, they are losing participation and Homework credit. They've had a month to bring an image in or to e-mail it to me to print for them. They've been reminded every day.

Week of Jan 27

I'm hoping that everyone is well. What a great past couple of weeks. Students were excited to work on their Scratchboard Artwork which was due on Wednesday of last week. A few students were out for various reasons and weren't able to work on their work and get it turned in. Then we had a Snow day on Friday. Everyone will have the opportunity to get their work turned in  and if they need to still work on it they can come in for Tutoring to finish it.

GRADES. Grades have been updated as of today. As of today all that is in there are Weekly participation grades. I myself was out 2 days last week then out Friday and today, so I hadn't had a chance to go over what was done while the sub was here. So I will be a busy bee this week getting Summative grades and more participation grades into the gradebook. Then I will post grades for students to see what they are making and missing.

This week. We are getting into Portrait Mode. Students last week practiced drawing faces by looking at themselves in mirrors. This week I will go further into the lesson and teach how to draw features and how to make them look more realistic.

WELCOME BACK!!!!

Art 1 & 2 will be starting on Scratch Board. I will post details later this week.
Today they are practicing on scratch board getting used to the tools that will be used for this assignment.
Tomorrow they are to bring an image of choice in. With criteria involved (no cartoons, logos etc. )
If they do not have an image ready, I will be docking points from their participation grade.
If they don't have access to a printer at home, there is always the printers in the library, Eagles nest or if they email their image to me, I could print it for them. angela.caddell@killeenisd.org with Scratch Art Image in the Subject Line.

Did you?

You didn't put your name on your work and have now lost 10 points. ALL PROJECTS ARE DUE TODAY!!!!!
