 How art is assessed

Grading is based on how children illustrate their learning of the concepts and techniques;  how they apply the elements and principals taught for that assignment, and of course their individuality and Creativity.  Behavior and effort are always a factor as well.  Extra Credit is always an option as well as redoing any project for a better grade if it is done in that quarter it is due.  I do not mark anything late as long as it is handed in for that quarter.  A C is earned by turning in the bare requirements for an assignment.  Extra detail and effort as well as creativity will earn a higher grade.  Unfinished or work not turned in will result in less than a C.

PLEASE DONATE/RECYCLE

Supplies like yarn, felt, fabric, foam, fake flowers, ribbon, calendars, art prints, paper, matboard, yogurt cups, paper towel rolls,  old X-mas cards, cardboard egg cartons, and almost anything you can think of we'll find a use for.
