Course Information:
Drawing & Painting
Grades 9-12 (Having passed Introduction to Art  is a prerequisite.)
18 week course
 
Art 2 (Drawing & Painting) allows students to continue their studies from Introduction to Art, learning to critically analyze what they see and develop their own style.  All students will receive weekly exposure to art history.  All students will be exploring drawing and painting mediums.
 
Class Assignment:  Examine art movements and use information to create original work.
 
Drawing Studies (Pencil & Charcoal)
Conceptual Series
Acrylic Painting
Final Series of Original Work
 
Grading Objective:
All students are graded by fulfilling the criteria of the assignment as well as by their creativity, effort and behavior during class. Each quarter will be worth 43% of your final grade, for a total of 86%.  The “final project” will be worth 14% of you final grade.

Note: Late work will be accepted up to five school days past the original "due date", but I reserve the right to determine what credit will be given based upon the reason for the  lateness of the assignment.  Late work will not be accepted for credit beyond the "five school day" grace period.  
 
Student Expectations:
Students are expected to be prepared for class and work each day. This includes having a pencil for class and a positive attitude.  It does require effort and work for a student to become eligible for an “A” letter grade.  If a student forgets to bring their work, they will be assigned a cleaning chore in the art room.

 

Cheating and plagiarism are prohibited. Students who cheat or commit plagiarism on any assessment or assignment will be given a failing grade for that assessment or assignment and will be disciplined in accordance with the school district’s “Student Discipline” policy.
