GRADES

Art Projects, Written and Group Critiques, Photographic Portfolio of finished works, Final Art Show

Late work will not be accepted and will result in a zero. If after you turn an artwork in for a grade and you would like to rework the project to make it higher quality; you will be allowed to do this up to the final week of the quarter. All projects must be resubmitted for a possible grade change the Wednesday of the week prior to the end of the quarter.

***All artwork must be original and not plagiarized; other sources can be used as a resource for creation but not copied. Give credit for all resources utilized. Plagiarism of any sort will result in a zero.

Artworks will not contain blood and guts, drugs or alcohol, or weapons; I have the final say for all artworks. Discuss with me the need to add any of these things to an artwork and exceptions may be made.

High School Art Grading Policy:

All of the Art projects are a starting point- they are something to get you going, to give you focus your job is to solve the problems of the assignment while showing your initiative and originality. Your attitude is everything and you need to make a real effort. Continuous hard work and pushing yourself further with each project is what I expect. This is a time where you become more self-motivated in the pursuit of innovative personal expression.

Your grade will depend on what you do, not on your ability in comparison to another person.
