GRADING AND CLASSROOM POLICIES
CLASS PROJECTS: During each term, I will
assign in-class art projects in various art media (drawing, paint,
printmaking, sculpture, etc.). Each student is responsible for
completing each project by the due date and keeping that project in his
or her portfolio (provided and stored in room). I will assign
approximately ten major pieces per term in addition to in-class
exercises.
HOMEWORK: There will be occasional homework
to be completed in due time.
TESTS: There will be a final exam at the end
of each semester.
PARTICIPATION: Daily effort, class
participation, and attendance are important to progress. I encourage
each student to do his or her best each day. I follow attendance and
makeup work policies outlined in the student handbook.
GRADING: I will evaluate portfolio work as
outlined in the attached sample grade sheet. I assess grades each term
according to the following scale:
Class
Projects 70 points
Homework 10 points
Participation/Effort 10 points
Test/Final
Project 10 points
Portfolio projects will be evaluated according to
the following criteria:
- Effort:
- Puts forth best effort to complete the
projects as explained
- Craftsmanship:
- Handles art materials correctly.
Professionally presents final projects (neat, clean,
wrinkle-free)
- Meets Assignment Objectives:
- Completes each project according to
instruction
- Demonstrates an understanding of the
assignment

FEES AND MATERIALS
There is a $20 art fee per student which is used to
order various materials such as paint, clay, printmaking materials,
paper, etc. I also ask that students bring a pencil each day to class
(may be stored in portfolio).
CLEAN-UP AND CARE OF ART
MATERIALS
All students are responsible for cleaning up their
work spaces and returning any materials used during class to the
appropriate storage areas. If a student breaks or destroys art supplies,
he or she will be required to replace the item(s).
