Grading

Several students have asked if their assignments are all graded. Yes! Of course all of your assignments are graded. That includes all sketchbook assignments, notes in your sketchbook, and class assignments. Even sub assignments count. This week we are discussing grading criteria and self critique in all classes. We are using our grades to help us learn to assess and critique art using Feldman’s Critique Method. We are also using rubrics so the students can understand why their piece is graded the way it is. Grades are about to get more specific. Up until this point they have been more general. Please use the rubric below to assess your students work. It will help you understand my process and what I am looking for. I also want you to know that if an assignment is missing or incomplete your student is responsible to make up that work. They absolutely can make up their work and improve their grade. The artistic process includes revision and reworking so I am trying to get them used to the idea of that process with this leniency of making up work.
