Art Class Guidelines  

I strive to create an inviting, artistic experience for each art student.  I will encourage you to approach new concepts with an open mind.  I expect kindness towards others and self.  This is a class of art students, not art masters.  Each of us are learning, growing, and going to make mistakes.  By following the Art Class Guidelines everyone can have a positive artistic experience.

1. Be Respectful
2. Be Kind
3. Be Responsible
4. Be Safe
5. Always Try Your Best

3-Proficient:  Meaningful understanding of standard with minor errors

2-Approaching:  Emergent understanding of standard with several gaps

1-Minimal/Not yet:  Demonstrates significant gaps in understanding

*There is no "extra credit" in art.  ALL work can be redone to reach proficiency or aim for mastery.
