Grading:
Points will be earned in the following areas:
Projects- these will make up the largest portion of your grade
Sketchbook- daily journaling and homework pages
Academic- quizzes, creativity exercises, book work
Participation, Planner, and Binder
- You will have one new project every 2 to 3 weeks
- The first 20 minutes of class will be spent working in sketchbook building creativity skills
- If you’re absent or late, it is your responsibility to make-up the daily sketchbook work
- Sketchbooks will be checked weekly for creativity building, project planning, and notes
- Participation includes: being present, on time, prepared, on task, engaged and empowered, and cleaning up after yourself
- For any excused absence (school-related or otherwise), you will be excused from those participation points, however the sketchbook work will need to be made up.
- For any unexcused absence, you will lose the daily participation points and will need to make up the daily sketchbook (for 50% credit)
- If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what was missed in class and make up that work
- Work not turned in must be given a grade of zero. See Pirate pact/code
- Any assignment given 10 days or more in advance, are due on the scheduled due date, regardless of the number of absences during the course of the assignment.
- If you are not here, it will be very difficult for you to be successful! BE PRESENT!
Final Exam:
At the end of each semester, there will be a final exam on all of the vocabulary, artists, historical context, media, and techniques that we learned throughout the semester.
Materials List:
- Please be prepared with a pencil daily
- A journal/sketchbook (at least 8”x10” but no larger than 9”x12”) with white, unlined pages- available to purchase in class for $5.00 (with hole-punch to fit in binder). A sketchbook can also be purchased at various retail outlets. Please do NOT purchase the sketchbooks that are glued at the top as they fall apart too easily
- Due to the rising cost of materials necessary to provide a quality art program, it is necessary to ask for a monetary classroom donation. Ten dollars is suggested, but any donations are greatly appreciated. Checks should be made out the BCHS and have your address and phone number. Please write a separate check for sketchbooks and donations. Thank you in advance
Photography:
I plan to photograph students working on projects and student artwork. If you do not want your child photographed or do not want their work photographed, please write a note next to the signature below.
Communication:
Communication is imperative for your student’s success. All grades will be posted in focus.pcsb.org for you to monitor your child’s progress. The best way to reach me is through e-mail:
I look forward to a wonderfully creative year!!
