Class overview
This is an introductory level art course, designed for students with all artistic ability levels and skills. Students will explore various materials, techniques, concepts, and processes essential to understanding the visual arts and the role of the artist, work on individual projects and studio studies to develop basic drawing and painting skills, learn design concepts, and further develop hand-eye coordination and fine-motor skills. The art assignments are designed to enhance and nourish such skills as creative problem solving and critical thinking, while developing the student’s individual style. Students will demonstrate their ability to respond, to analyze, and to interpret their own artwork and the work of others through discussions and critiques.

Grading
Art classes grades are based on skills and performance of each individual student. Full credit will be given to all COMPLETED assignments that have followed the guidelines/rubric and turned in on time.
Students must follow the teacher’s instructions to fulfill project requirements. Grading requirements and rubric will be explained at the beginning of each project. Formative assessment measures student skill growth.
Critiques, studio work, and practice are considered to be a formative assessment and are worth 20% of the semester grade.
Summative assessment measures student performance. Completed artwork is considered a summative assessment. Summative grades are worth 80% of the semester grade.
NOTE: Unless a project specifically requires copying, it will be interpreted in the same manner as plagiarism and is not acceptable.
