Individual projects may have grading variances.  Students will be advised of differences in grading rubrics PRIOR to the assignment.  If the majority of students can not complete an assignment a grade may be taken on the incomplete portion and returned.  Some art work may be held by the teacher for placement in district art shows and competitions.

"I'LL TRY!"

Please speak to your child about their attitude.  In class I expect all students to try.  We will experience a multitude of cultures and mediums.  I expect that your child will find something that they really enjoy.  They should have an open mind and understand that they may not enjoy all projects, but there is SOMETHING to be learned from every lesson.  HAVE FUN!
