***A Note on Grades: Students receive a grade in Art that becomes part of the GPA, just as in any other class; however, students' grades in art are influenced by several factors (some listed below) and are NEVER based on a comparison to each others' artwork. The following questions should be part of your evaluation of your own accomplishment for each project:
1. have I submitted the project on time?
2. have I completed each element of the project as assigned?
3. have I used my time well in class? (Do I participate in discussions and contribute to group learning? Am I easily distracted by others and/or distract others from their own work? Do I come prepared to class, ready to engage in an artistic pursuit? Do I set up and clean up supplies neatly and efficiently? )
4. have I produced my very best work, and put forth consistent effort, to present a high-quality art project?
Remember, the teacher does not GIVE you a grade, you EARN your grade.
