GRADING

YOUR ART GRADE Each day you can earn 10 points – participation/effort grade – what you put into your art period is up to you. REFER TO THE BOTTOM SECTION.

If you spend most of your time talking, you will not get your 10 points. You must be actively engaged in your project – working quietly. If talking is your main goal each day, your art work will suffer and the people around you suffer from your being a distraction and this is not tolerated. No points will be given.
