Primary Projects/Units:
|
|
Units will consist
of various daily warm-up projects and activities relevant to the specific art
medium along with a cumulative art piece showcasing skills and techniques
learned. Unit grade will reflect all components of the unit.
Grading:
Each weeklong
project/unit will be assigned a letter grade (A, B, C, etc). Rubrics will be used for student
self-assessment as well as instructor assessment. Project/unit grades will then
be averaged for mid-quarter and final quarter grades.
Projects/units
will be assessed with the following criteria:
· Craftsmanship
and neatness
· Effort
· Three
criterions will be determined through teacher/student collaboration. This will
vary from project to project.
Attendance/Tardiness:
This course will
follow the Becker Middle School attendance and tardiness policy as stated in
the Becker Middle School Student and Family Handbook on pages 1-2.
Homework:
Homework is generally not assigned unless
the student chooses to bring projects home for additional working time.
Other Requirements/Expectations:
Due Dates:
· Adequate
time will be given in class to complete projects. If you cannot finish a
project in class, it should be done as homework before due date.
·
Full credit will be
given to projects turned in on time. Grades will drop one letter grade everyday work is late (unless you have
made arrangements with Ms. Hare prior).
If you cannot
finish a project because of an excused absence, please see me to adjust the due
date.
Material Needed:
Materials will be
collected at the beginning of 8th grade art. Some of these materials
include:
- Watercolor tray
- Black permanent markers
- Glue sticks
- Plastic paint mixing containers (yogurt containers, sour cream containers, ice cream buckets, etc.
