It's not difficult to get a 'C' in this class.
An 'A' requires some serious effort!
Learning, Work, and Safety Skills
Students will learn valuable concepts and skills in this class if they are willing to:
- Listen quietly to presentations and instructions
- Participate appropriately in class discussions
(one at a time, on topic, polite to teachers and fellow students)
- Focus on artwork and assignments and work diligently throughout project time
- Follow instructions and all classroom and safety policies
- Be on time to class and turn in makeup work for all absences
Portfolio
Your portfolio is a folder of the work you have completed in Art class. Portfolios are valuable for reflection and analysis of your progress. They are a standard tool for artists in any field.
Excellence and Independent Projects
Students may choose from a wide variety of independent Art projects and classroom service projects to earn the final 10 points of each weekly 'Process' grade and each 'Product' grade in this class.
