Classroom Expectations and Grading


   Grades 4-8 receive a grade on report cards for art.  These grades are 4, 3, 2, and 1; 4 being the highest achievement.  Each student should strive to earn a 3.  Once he or she acheives a three in art class, the child should aim to earn a 4.
 
   Weekly expectations require the following:
  • Lecture Days:  Teacher will Lecture during some classes on art history, techniques, and expectations of specific art project
  • Demonstration Days:  Teacher will demonstrate on how to create projects and techniques
  • Studio Days: Students will come to class and will be responsible for setting up their own art area, and cleaning it up.  Students are responsible for completing their own work by the given deadline.  If students are unable to finish work on time due to missed art classes, then students are to come in at lunch/recess or other free time during school hours to complete work.  If students can not find the time to make up their art work during school hours, then students are to bring work home and complete it as homework.
