GRADES!!!!
I am going to be updating the Gradebook starting today. This is the home stretch for the end of the 1st 9 weeks. EVERYTHING is due by end of the day Thursday, in order for me to grade/regrade/enter everything into the system. Students have been reminded of this and it's on the screen today too.
I will be going over grades with students as I see the need and will have students who have a failing grade as of Thursday to sign a 'Failure Sheet'. This simply states that they knew from day one what they needed to do in order to pass this class.
END OF THE 1ST 9 WEEKS
Wow.... Really where has the time gone? This school year is flying by!
I just wanted to share this reminder with you all. Since Friday is the last day of this 9 weeks.

Week of October 5-9
Art one students are starting their Day of the Dead Sugar Skull projects. They are creating one in honor of a loved one that has passed away or they are creating one to represent themselves. Today they are brainstorming/sketching out ideas. Tomorrow I will go over how they will be drawing it out and using symmetry to create their skulls.
Art 2 & 3 are finishing up their Zentangle projects this week. They are due at the end of the week.
They are also encouraged to get a selfie of themselves printed and ready to use for their next project. If they don't have a way to print out their image, they are encouraged to e-mail it to me at angela.caddell@killeenisd.org and put their name and selfie in the subject line.

Art 1- Pattern/Design
This week in Art 1 we are getting our mind wrapped around Pattern/Design. Students are given a handout of a Still-life and they are to fill it in with as many patterns/designs as they can. This is for a Formative Grade. Once they are finished, they are to then brainstorm/sketch out an idea for their Project (Summative). BAD HAIR DAY!

Week of Sept 14-18
This week students in all of my classes have been working on Contour Line Projects.
Art 1- learning how to draw upside down (using the right side of their brain). Enlarging a Picasso drawing onto drawing paper. They were to then fill it in completely with color/pattern/designs. Due yesterday, however I gave today as a little catch-up day to allow more time to finish.
Art 2- Students are taking their knowledge of Contour Lines and an image of choice to enlarge onto a large piece of Drawing paper. They can use the Upside down concept if they'd like or grid it if they don't feel confident on drawing it free-hand. They are to then go over their cleaned up pencil lines with Sharpie/pen and then give value done with contour lines.
Art 3- Students are also taking their knowledge of Contour lines and capture Contour and Movement. There were to try to take images, select 5-7 frames and then draw them onto Watercolor paper. After they have drawn onto the Watercolor paper, they are to go over it with Sharpie/Pen then apply a pail/wash of watercolor.
Lessons along with examples are in the slide show link below.

Grade Status
Grades will be posted by the end of the day for the first round of IPR/Progress Reports. I will be going through my gradebook today and reminder students of missing work. No Excuses.
Portfolios will be graded starting next week. If students still need to work on them after today, they will need to come in on their own time for Tutorials to finish them. (Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school).
