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!!
