HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow, 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; extension requests require a 3-day lead.
- Re: Quiz #1 - Access your quiz to review written answers and read any related comments - if recommendations were offered, please consider these for future quizzes and other written assignments
- DUE FRIDAY = Drawing Bootcamp
- DUE Nov. 8/9 = Using the feedback you were given, plus your own improved knowledge and abilities, write a BETTER Description paragraph than you did before (of the same work of art). Think carefully about what you write and how you write it: Is it as descriptive as it could be??? Will it result in a more accurate drawing by the one who reads and interprets it??? Typed, double spaced, name/date/class code.
- DUE ASAP but no later than Nov. 6 = Payment and permission form for the D.C. field trip; seats are limited and reserved on a first come/first served basis with collected payment and permission
- DUE EVERY MONDAY/TUESDAY = Check the website at the start of each week; update your agenda accordingly and complete any required preparatory work
- DUE PERIODICALLY = Check Powerschool; it is your responsibility to follow up with make up/late work, questions, or discrepancies in a timely manner
HAPPENINGS:
- THURSDAY = Parent/Teacher Conferences, 4 - 7 pm
- FRIDAY =
- End Q1
- Fall Art Walk (bonus, InLight will be happening on Broad St.)
- Nov. 7 = Student holiday + Parent/Teacher Conferences, 9 am - noon
- Nov. 14 = NAHS @ 11:45 - 12:15
- Nov. 16 = Lunchtime Lecture
- Nov. 28 = Art Club @ 11:45 - 12:15
- Dec. 1 = D.C. Field Trip (7:45 am - 6:30 pm)
- CHECK THE SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF EVENTS AND DETAILS
The first quarter of art is more about learning how to be a successful art student than anything else: preparedness, organization, deliberate practice, curiosity, open-mindedness, making connections, thinking deeply, putting forth your best effort, being confident, answering open-ended questions, solving visual problems, etc., etc. etc. The website is meant to help with those efforts and more - and so using it as a tool for success is part of your responsibility as a student. Moving forward, there will be fewer weekly agenda challenges - and eventually none. There will simply be an expectation that you are fully prepared at the start of each week.
SO....
- If you have taken at least 2 agenda challenges, this can be #3 and it will earn you Extra Credit for Q1 - THANK YOU!
- If you have never taken an agenda challenge, I challenge you to do so... just because - PLEASE!
Here it is: Post A FACT, OBSERVATION, or QUESTION related to Artist Spotlight #6
- No, it hasn't been assigned yet.
- No, you don't have to read/view the resources - but you can
- Look at the image, read the heading, credit line, and any other written information (including previous student comments) and think...
- What facts are obvious, in writing, etc.?
- What observations can you make re: connections you notice between this work of art and others we have studied?
- What questions do you have?
- In order to earn credit for your work:
- Don't repeat any comments that have already been posted!
- Post your comment BEFORE the first class of the week!
