My goal is to help every child succeed.  Therefore, students are expected to work to the best of their abilities.  I teach students to embrace mistakes in the art classroom and to learn from mistakes.  I encourage every child to be fearless in the art room and to work to their full potential.

 

 

Student grades are based on the following:

 

creativity-  Students are expected to follow the directions on projects, but to also add their personal skills, ideas, and knowledge into their unique work of art.

participation/behavior-  Students are expected to offer comments and ideas during discussions.  Every student is encourage to always try and do their best.  Positive attitudes are praised within the art classroom.

craftsmanship-  Students are expected to apply the skills they are learning to the best of their ability within each art lesson. 

lesson objectives-  Students are expected to follow and meet the lesson objectives within each art project and are encouraged to go beyond the objectives.
