Art is an exciting area for all! We can do wonderful things, if we know the expectations in art.
Daily Requirements:
Grades 6-8: Always bring your sketchbooks. Bring them to class every day so that they can be graded.
Homework:
The majority of the homework assignments will be given to the students only if they have not finished their work in the classroom.
Remember, DO NOT FOLD any of your art work and please take good care of it.
Depending on the project given, I will also ask the students to bring some materials from home. Please check your homework board for further information!
6-8th students will have sketch book homework assignments. Please check the homework board for further information!
Rules of the art room:
Assignments:
Assignments will be divided into short term and long term projects.
Each project will have 10 participation points. Each student will be awarded those 10 points at the start of the project. If the student displays excellent effort and behavior throughout the project they will receive 10 points at the end of the project. However, if the student displays inappropriate behavior, (distracting others, disregard for directions, etc.), or lack of effort, points will be taken away in one point increments.
Sketchbook assignments will be given out to 6th -8th grade. Please check our homework board for further information!
Projects will vary in point value depending on the complexity of the work involved. At the end of the project, students will have a chance to reflect upon their own art work through a self evaluation. Through this process, students will discover and develop their artistic abilities and learn to take pride in their achievements.
Assignments are to be completed by the date given, and any late work will result in deducting 2 points each day. If you are going on vacation, please let me know in advance so that we can arrange a schedule to make up the assignment. If you are absent, you may hand in your work the next day.
Remember, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE an artist to earn an A in this class. Try your best and give your best effort! Art is fun and I would like you to enjoy art as I teach you the skills to develop and find your own creativity!
