What makes the grade?
Studio Conduct- 10% A daily grade will be given that reflects daily attendance/punctuality, participation and support of keeping the studio a safe and workable space. Formative Assessments - 40% Growing as an artist is as much about process as product. This part of the grade includes things such as daily sketchbook assignments, technical and compositional play activities (BOOT CAMPS), artist/culture research/presentations, critiques, quizzes, and other learning activities that build a foundation for art making and growing as an artist. Summative Assessments- 50% CREATIVE CHOICE PROJECTS (40%) & PORTFOLIO (10%) To show learned expertise and comprehensive understanding of ceramic art making and thinking like an artist, students will create a portfolio of 4 major ceramic artworks and present the process and final product for each piece in a shared online format. One of the portfolio artworks will focus on the wheel and the other 3 pieces on hand-built/wheel techniques that further explore different themes and artistic behaviors. |
