COURSE SUMMARY
Art II is a course that teaches artists/students advance techniques.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
o Gain confidence and competency in using/exploring creative solutions and ideas
o Gain confidence and competency in using/exploring a variety of art media
o Give students an appreciation and understanding of art and art history, both in today's culture and that of years' past
GRADING
Each student is graded on an individual basis. No cross-class comparisons will be made. I grade on my expectations of you and your growth as an individual.
Specific criteria for grading are given at the beginning of each assignment. Assignments/ homework are given in advance and left on the board until the due date. If for whatever reason a student missed a deadline to turn in work then each day a homework assignment is late 5 points will be deducted, until it reaches an F. Then students can receive up to 69 points before the end of the 9 weeks.
Your projects will be graded with the following criteria in mind:
Effort- this means always striving for your personal best
Craftsmanship/Perseverance- you have taken your time and done a careful job
Creativity/Originality-you have developed your own idea and not copied someone else's
Following instructions- you have met the criteria outlined for each assignment
Elements of Art and Principles of Design- you have incorporated the necessary elements and principles in your assignment
