- 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. 16 = Lunchtime Lecture
- Nov. 28 = Art Club @ 11:45 - 12:15

- CHECK THE SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF EVENTS AND DETAILS
WHEW, you made it to the end of this agenda AND the end of Q1. Well done!
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....
Here it is: Post A FACT, OBSERVATION, or QUESTION related to Artist Spotlight #6
