Grading

Art class consists of two competencies: 

1. Participation

2. Demonstration of Skills & Concepts

For a final grade, students can receive:  

E (Extending), 

P (Proficient), 

or D (Developing)

Because some projects extend over a 9-week period, note the following:

_____________________________

1st and 3rd 9-week grades are simply benchmarks based on participation. 

2nd and 4th 9-week-grades reflect the final assessments of the semester rather than just one 9-week period (Semester=18 class periods; 9 Weeks=only 9 class periods)

*Students are permitted to make up or catch up on any work during Explore or Recess of their choosing. It is their responsibility to secure a pass for that time.*

Elements of Art

The building blocks of art. The "letters."

Line * Shape * Space * Form * Texture * Color * Value

Principles of Art

How the elements are  used together. The "words."

Contrast * Movement * Emphasis * Balance * Pattern * Unity * Rhythm
