I never accept PDFs, Word documents, Notability documents or screenshots of Sketchbook App drawings.Īssignments requiring writing will be graded based on Art Content and the NMS Rules for Writing. I only accept assignments turned in using the format asked for in the assignment.įor example, if I provide a Google Doc to the students to complete, only Google Docs will be accepted. There seems to be a lag between when a teacher updates grades and when they are available for parents and students to view.

The day of the week that updates occur may vary.

I will update Progressbook at least once a week as time allows. Work assigned before September 21 will not be subject to the penalty in my class.Īll assignments assigned after September 21 will be subject to late penalties. After 5 days, the grade will automatically go to zero. Starting September 21, a 10% per day penalty will be applied to late work. Late work goes to the bottom of the pile. I never compare a student to other students when grading work.Īll work turned in on time will be graded first. The Studio Habits of Mind are: Develop Craft, Engage and Persist, Envision, Express, Observe, Reflect, Stretch and Explore, and Understanding the Art World. While making art can be enjoyable there is a wide variety of thinking tasks that happen around the art making activity. We use the Studio Habits to focus the students on what they are really doing when they are working in the art room and to help them understand the scope of what artists really do. Studio Habits of Mind are eight areas or domains in artistic thinking that were identified by Project Zero at Harvard University led by Lois Hetland through research in High School art classrooms throughout the country.

I love telling my students that their work is beautiful and why I find it beautiful! Many times a project may not have received the best grade, but as a work of art it is really beautiful. I get the chance to hear what the student thinks about his or her work and I get to tell each student what I think they have done really well and what I think about it as a piece of art. I sit down with students and we talk about his or her project and agree on the grade. The thing I like best about having a flipped classroom is that I get the chance to interact more with my students than I did with a traditional classroom because we are working together. Students must be more self-directed and willing to read brief instructions on the Learning Guide for each project. This frees me to be able to work with students who are struggling with the technique or concept and provide more direct support to all students.Ī flipped classroom demands more of the student as well. My class is also a Flipped Classroom and I emphasize the Studio Habits of Mind.Ī flipped classroom is one in which my lessons are on video and students watch the video as many times as they need in order to understand the content or technique.
