💯Grading

In this class you will complete work that falls under the following categories: Response to Art 10%, Studio Skills 20%, Classwork 30%, & Major Assignments/Projects 40%.

Late Work Policy | All work must be turned in by the due date assigned. Below outlines how grading will be adjusted if work is turned in late:

Collected/Checked work - If work is late, students will have up to five days to complete applicable course work, as per the GMS Grading Policy. **Art Projects are the exception as it is essential that students are present to complete them and it is not always possible to work on them after given deadlines.
Work Graded by Rubric - Rubrics include Meets Deadline criterion. This criterion outlines how a reduction of points can occur if photos of artwork or sketchbook prompts are submitted late.

Visual Arts classes are semester long classes. Per teacher discretion, a student may have the opportunity to make up missing work as marking periods draw to a close. This will be assessed on a case by case basis.

If you are following all of these policies and procedures, then you are practicing respect, being responsible, and ready to learn!
