Let's get started!



Welcome back to school!  
This is a guy you are going to know more about very soon!
Jean-Michel Basquiat: you will know him soon.
This blog is going have copies/link of important information for your art class this year.  BOOKMARK IT, READ IT, CHECK IT OFTEN!

While the Art Class syllabus is going to be distributed and available online soon, it is important that all parents/guardians and scholars are aware of the late policy of art assignments:
Assignments

All assignments have been created with care and are assigned for the purpose of assessing what you know and can do.  It allows me to provide you with the feedback you need to develop as a reader and writer.  
·      Late work is not helpful.
o   Failure to turn in work on time results may create a gap in your learning which will, in turn, lower your grade.   
§  For example: For every day your assignment is late, you score will be reduced by 5%.  On the fifth day, the maximum grade possible on that assignment is 75%.  After five days, the assignment will no longer be eiligible to receive credit, but will be collected in order to provide you with crucial feedback on your progress.
·      Missed assignments are your responsibility.
o   If you have an excused absence that keeps you from either turning in an assignment or receiving instructions for an assignment, it is your duty to talk to me about the assignment as soon as you return. 
·      Makeup work may be required.

o   If you do not turn in an assignment, you may have your Park time suspended and/or have detention with me in order to complete the work.  In addition, your grade on that assignment will still receive a late penalty and your parent will be called and notified.
