My Philosophy: I believe everyone is artistic to some extent. I love that art is hands on learning that encourages creativity, thinking, feeling, strengthening of fine motor skills, and exploring boundaries. I try to use many different mediums and styles of art in my program so that every child can find success.
Parent Portal: Art grades are posted for grades 3-8 on the Parent Portal. Students can also access their grades in Google Classroom. If you see a zero for your child's grade that means they did not hand anything in. If you see a 60, that means that they handed their work in but it was incomplete. Students have more than enough time in class and sometimes take it home to finish. They NEED to hand work in to me when it is due.
Binders: Grades K-8 are required to have 3 ring binders for art. We put al lot of our work in the binders.
If your child is sick or absent for any reason, they need to make up their work from art class. This is a class and work must be graded. Please make sure they are doing this. They only have me once a week, so there is plenty of time to get things done before their next class. They are reminded repeatedly to see me anytime, on any day, to get what they need.
Art Grading Policy
You will be graded on:
- Following Directions – Clear directions are given for each project and examples are provided.
- Effort – You are expected to try your best on all projects. Everyone is not good at everything, but giving it your best shot will get you far.
- Neatness – Take your time and do it right. Draw and color neatly and carefully. NO ERASER MARKS!
- Handing work in complete and on time – There is no reason for not getting a project in on time. You are given more than enough time in class. If you are not completing projects in class, you are not using your time efficiently. Being responsible is very important.
