Grading in Art classes is based on the following:

• Positive work habits - Positive & efficient use of daily studio/class time showing student growth. This is a job skill we are learning.

• Finished assignments - Showing growth, willingness to improve, and attention to detail. There is a rubric for each assignment.

• In both Art & Graphic Design, an assignment is not finished until the teacher says it is so please check with the teacher to see if it has met the requirements for handing it in.

• All students are welcome to improve on an assignment to get a better grade if improvements are submitted one week before the end of the grading period.
