What will I be graded on in this class? Daily Sketchbook Assignments - 20% of your grade Daily Work Points, quizzes, in class assignments – 30% of your grade Projects - Paintings - 50% of your grade

How do the daily work points work? 20 points per day total 5 pts for being on time & prepared to start when class begins 10 pts for working well during class time 5 pts for putting your things away, & cleaning your desk area with cleaner and doing your classroom cleanup, no sooner than 5 minutes before the bell.

Why do I need a Sketchbook? You will be doing a daily sketchbook assignment which will be given at the beginning of class each day. Sketchbooks will be graded at mid-terms & end of term, most are worth 10 points each day. Sketchbook assignments must be IN a sketchbook in order to be graded. They also need to be in order by date. They will be graded on completion, neatness and following directions If you do a SUPREME job on sketches you could receive extra credit.

Do I need to be the best artist to get an A? No- you just need to come every day, complete all the projects, assignments, and sketchbooks - doing your personal best work. If you do all of the above – your artistic skills WILL improve and I will be happy to give you the A you deserve. (there are a few opportunities for extra credit too)

Am I allowed to turn in late work in this class?

Yes Most assignments and projects will have a due–date and work won’t be graded until a few days after the due-date. After the project due-date, there will not be in class time to work on projects. After work has been graded you will lose credit for turning in work late. But- If you turn in work late- the highest grade you can get is a B. Turn it in on time and if well done if you have to have an A.
