GRADE WEIGHTS

GRADING SCALE

HOMEWORK: You will be expected to put 3 hours (at a minimum!) of work into your sketchbook assignments, readings, and studio work outside of class. Getting behind WILL be a problem for you in terms of your grade and your work. All assignments must be completed on time - there are no exceptions unless otherwise discussed with me. 

SKETCHBOOKS: Sketchbook assignments will go hand-in-hand with Painting Assignments. These assignments could take minutes or hours, the amount of time you put into them is up to you. Also, how you approach the use of your sketchbook is up to you. You will often be asked to make preliminary sketches and “official sketches” for an assignment, but I would also like to have you feel the sketchbook with doodles, musings, ideas, writing down guys and girls phone numbers (not really). It should be the thing to write/draw into....have it with you at each class. You will be graded for the work you do in your sketchbook.
