:: Welcome Back, Falcons!!! ::
Hello, I look forward to experiencing a great semester with all my art students. In my classroom students are graded on their individual ability, effort and personal progress with each assignment.
Homework, sketchbook assignments and daily warm-ups will count for 50% of your overall grade. Projects count for the other 50%. Homework will be assigned every Monday and is due at the beginning of class on Thursdays. These assignments are not optional and must be completed throughout the semester in order to pass. Every homework assignment will be posted on my school notes page starting September 2, 2008.
Students will lose 20 points for any and all late work.
