    Grading Rubric

    Grading Art is a highly subjective endeavor. The particular bias and preferences of the viewer/grader will always be a factor in the assessment of a piece of artwork. In an effort to create a fair evaluation system for our work, we will be utilizing a grading rubric.

    Hello all!

    Welcome back to school! I have lots of new and interesting projects to try. Covid restrictions are going to make this year different, but we will work through it together!

    Sketchbooks

    If you are in 7th or 8th grade, you can pick up your sketchbook from the art room anytime, just ask your teacher for permission. If you are in 9th grade, you can email me and I will send your sketchbook to your new school. I will need your guidance counselor's name.

    Online Art

    You will need pencils, unlined paper, and a set of colored pencils. You may also use watercolor or acrylic paints if you have them. You will not be able to complete assignments if you do not have at least a set of colored pencils. Access to a printer will be beneficial. All assignments will be posted in Microsoft Teams by class period. You will need to turn in all completed work to the same place.

    In-school Art

    You will need pencils everyday. You will use a sketchbook everyday. If you are not able to obtain a sketchbook, you will need to make one, using a duo-tang folder and plain, unlined paper. You may keep your sketchbook with you, but you will need it everyday you are in art class. If you do not wish to share materials with other classes, you will need your own set of colored pencils, watercolors, and markers. I will let you know ahead of time what materials we will be using in class.
