Camera Check Out Reminders
Cameras can be checked out at the end of each school day at 2:45. You may only check a camera out directly from me (Mrs. Bjork). Don't just take one off the shelf even if you're in that class room at the end of the day with another teacher. You have to get the camera from me, have me check it over to be sure all the parts are in the bag. You can then sign it out on the sheet. Cameras are due back during resource the next morning. If it is a Wednesday and I am in a meeting you need to stop by at the start of first hour to drop it off. I will give you a pass if needed to first hour. When returning the camera have it ready for me to inspect and then sign in the date you returned it. If you are absent it is your responsibility to get the camera returned to school by your parent. They can drop it office to the attendance secretary in the office. If you don't follow these rules you may jeopardize your ability to be allowed to check out a camera in the future.
Late, Missing and Incomplete Work final deadline is May 31st!

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.
Flickr Follow Up After Assignments
It would be great if we get in the habit of using Flickr for our class. Please make sure you've joined the PHS Art Room group on Flickr. Once you're a member you will be able to post comments and images to the various discussion topics that I will create there.
The first topic is linked here. Complete the post after you have finished your Master Artistic Voice project. This post will serve as your artist statement and will be part of the critique process for assignments. Make sure you comment on other people's work too. It's meant to be a discussion. Inspiration
