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!!!!! 

Week of Dec 9

Students are continuing their Perspective projects. Progress Reports are going out today. Grades were posted in class yesterday and probably will be posted again later this week. I will be entering Mask Grades for Art 2 starting today. 

Next week we will be taking Semester Exams. All projects are due by this Friday in order to be put into the system for Report Cards. 

Art 1 Projects are Due Tomorrow. They will then start practicing for a project they will begin after the holiday break. 

Welcome back... from the holiday weekend.

We've only got 3 weeks to go until our next holiday break. I hope you rested up, because we are going to be busy. EVERYTHING is due next Friday, December 13. In order for me to see what is missing and so you can have that opportunity to pass.

Art 1- Students are continuing their Bird's Eye View perspective projects. I am hoping to tell them tomorrow when these will be due.

Art 2- Students are either finishing up with their masks or working on their perspective projects. They have been reminded to use their time wisely so they get what they need finished by next Friday.

Final Exams will be the week of December 17. Students will have an Open Journal Exam. So they are encouraged to get caught up. Journals entries can be found under the Journals Tab on this Blog.

Putting things into....

Perspective... Literally! 

All classes are either getting refreshed on the concept, or learning it for the first time. 

The Week before THANKSGIVING

This week is nuts. 

Timeline:

Monday-
Art 1- Contour Shoe Projects due at the end of class. Students have been told that if they need extra time, they will need to come in to Tutoring either on Tuesday or Wednesday to finish up.
Art 2- Students are continuing their Masks. Either painting their first or second layer of Gesso or they are adding their designs onto it.

Tuesday-
Art 1- Students will participate in a Demo Day on Perspective. 1pt, 2pt and if there is time we'll briefly cover 3pt. Students will begin a 1pt Perspective project on Wednesday.
Art 2- Students are taking a brief Quiz over Perspective. To show me what they know. It's not for a grade, just participation. I need to know what I need to reteach before they start their 2 or 3pt Perspective project. (I am finding that the Art 2 kiddos that had Art 1 int he Jr. High level, don't quite know what they are doing :(
Students are to then continue their masks.

Wednesday-
Art 1- Students will finish Demo Day if we didn't finish on Tuesday. They will then be introduced to their 1pt Perspective Project.
Art 2- I will be reviewing/Reteaching Perspective. Hopefully this won't take the entire class period.
Students will then continue their Masks.

Thursday- EARLY RELEASE- Classes are shortened. Both Classes will do what they can do in this timeframe.
Art 2- will be introduced to their 2 or 3pt Projects.

Friday- I will not be here. So all classes are to be working on their Perspective Projects.
