Students are expected to work while in class. All classes are paced to allow students to accomplish all tasks during the elective period. If students remain focused the majority of the class period, and pay attention to timelines, they should be able to easily finish all work.
Grades will be based on the following:
50% Major Assignments (Projects)
30% Minor Assignments (Sketchbook Assignments)
20% Skills (Art Starts, Project Reflections)
Powerschool will be updated as work is due and handed in. Students are responsible for ensuring projects and sketchbook assignments are photographed and submitted to Artsonia on time. Barring multiple absences on class days, deadlines need to be met. Reminders of due dates will be given during class, including timelines for projects and pacing suggestions. Missing/Incomplete assignments will be noted, and students may resubmit work to increase their grade. Depending on the assignment, a zero may be entered as a place holder until the assignment is finished.
When absent, students will have an extra day to finish, per day of absence, if needed. Late work will have a deduction of 10% per day late.
If students need additional time to complete work, they may come to the art room during WIN or during their lunch. They must have teacher permission and cannot miss AIG time.
