FRIDAY: Remember, this is an ALL CLASS day​
  • SB DUE/Share
  • Discussion of AS #2

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 as needed.
  • DUE FRIDAY = SB #1 - Read & re-read the assignment, plus the SB guidelines and Artistic Habits; check your work against the assignment prompts, making sure that each has been completed as directed and with your best efforts. Use the Lunchtime Lecture page to complete (if you missed the lecture) or enhance (even if you attended) your entry!
  • 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:​​

    • Monday Sept 25th 11:10 - 12:00 Juniors
    • Tuesday Sept 26th 11:10 - 12:00 Sophomores
    • Wednesday Sept 27th 11:10 - 12:00 Freshmen (if you are on the walking field trip with me, you will be late to this and Mr. Z knows it)

  • Oct. 6 = Fall Festival (it's also a First Friday!)
  • Oct. 6 = Figure drawing Friday!
  • Oct. 11 & 13 = PSAT/special schedule, check school calendar for details
Thanks for doing your best to be prepared.  CLICK HERE to learn about the artist and the exhibit you will see on Wed./Thurs.. Read the statement and watch the video - take notes in your sketchbook - this is part of the required entry anyway and it will help you to understand what you are looking at. Plus, you'll have more time at the gallery to sketch and enjoy the art.

After learning about the artist and the exhibition, submit a comment about what you found most intriguing about her work - and/or what you are most interested to see when you are there in person.

PS - These agenda questions can earn you extra credit! They are meant to encourage weekly review of the agenda. You will not be penalized for not commenting BUT I do hope that you ARE checking the website! These extra credit options will not be available weekly, so take advantage of them when you have the chance!

PPS - THIS TIME AROUND, YOU HAVE UNTIL THE SECOND CLASS OF THE WEEK TO SUBMIT YOUR COMMENT (you will still need to follow the directions/meet the specific challenge of the given prompt in order for it to be approved)

HEY! Did you get all the way to bottom of this agenda? You've read it, updated your calendar/agenda as needed, and are all prepared for the week ahead - and beyond? WELL DONE. FIST PUMP. You may have been born with natural talent, which is awesome... but you may not have as much talent as you would like, which is totally fine.... Much of what we do in this class is "teachable - no talent required." From the list, "10 Things That Require Zero Talent": 1) Choose one quality that you are sure you do have and that you can easily bring with you to art class every day AND  2) Choose one quality that you will prioritize as a goal to focus on throughout the year.
