Assessment in This ClassAs always the artwork you create and the way you present it will influence the grades you receive in this class. This year the district is moving towards Standards Based Grading. With each unit you will see a highly detailed form that describes the assignment and shows what Reportable Standards and Priority Standards are being covered in the unit. As we've done in the past you will participate in the critique process, which involves presenting your finished artwork and evaluating it in verbal and written form. You will use the following two rubrics to self assess your work. Each is standards based and will be used to determine your grade in this class. This year we will also be individually grading your artist statements with a separate rubric. Both rubrics are posted here. In some classes you will complete these digitally, while in others you will fill out a paper copy. Each class will digitally turn in their artist statements to the Google folder for the class.
