CANVAS

Find the most up to date information regarding project instructions and deadlines
This is where photos of finished work and written reflections are turned in
I promise to provide feedback on the amazing things you’ve done and how to continue to grow as an artist

POWERSCHOOL GRADES

Powerschool is the best place to find the official grade given on a project or assignment
Feedback is found in the overall and project comments
If you have any questions on the final grade that was given, I highly encourage you to come talk to me and we can discuss why it was given and how to improve it

HOW DO I GRADE ART?

PRODUCTIVITY : Did you focus and finish?

COLLABORATION : Did you work with others?

LEARNING : Did you challenge yourself to learn?

RESPECT : Did you show kindness to others?

You will critique your project and work ethic after every project and it provides more thorough expectations within the four categories above. As long as you work hard, finish your projects and turn them in, you should get an easy A.

HOW DO I PLAN?

Start with the layout below and adjust as needed.

Do you understand the assignment?
Brainstorm written ideas

(Think about how they could be shown visually)

Create thumbnail sketches

(Quick with no details – only shapes and lines)

Get feedback and take notes from peers or your teacher
Find reference images

Preferably you will take your own reference photos.

Do at least one larger and more detailed sketch
Get more feedback and begin on the final version

HOW DO I CRITIQUE?
