ART III GRADING POLICY
Students are expected to turn work in on time. Materials may be checked out and students may stay after school if
needed as long as the instructor has been notified in advance.
 Projects: Students will submit three new quality pieces at midterm and three new quality pieces at the end of the nine
weeks. Each quality piece will be worth 100 points.
o Students will be expected to spend 3 hours outside of class each week in order to successfully complete
assignments
 Homework: Students will complete up to one homework assignment per quarter outside of class. This piece will be
graded the same as projects and be worth 100 points..
 Sketchbook: Students are expected to maintain a sketchbook throughout the year to create ideas/inspiration and develop
their work. A students’ sketchbook will be their reference tool throughout the year for thumbnails, development, and
research. Each quarter student sketchbooks will be graded, 100 points.
 Portfolio Review Grade: A student’s portfolio consists of all work completed in high school and all Art III work. These
portfolios will be reviewed at any given time by the instructor and will count as part of the nine weeks grade. This ensures
student success as the year progresses. It will be worth 200 points each nine weeks. Portfolios are to remain in the art
room. Any time a portfolio is needed for review and cannot be accessed and/or pieces are missing from the portfolio,
students will receive points off of this grade. If students need to take their portfolio/work home they may sign it out at the
end of the day, and must be returned the next morning.
 Critiques: Students will participate in oral critiques at the end of each nine weeks to assess their work as well as the work
of their classmates. Students will also complete written commentary about their work, 100 points.
 Pictures: Students are required to have pictures (JPEG) of all work in their portfolio. Students will be given deadlines for
pictures and points will be deducted if they are not submitted on time.
 Deadlines: There are two major deadlines posted in the art room at the beginning of each nine weeks. Students are
required to make notes of the deadlines and submit work on time. Art III students may turn in assignments before the
deadline LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
 Competitions: As part of the exam grade and 4th quarter students are expected to compete in competitions each
semester. Information will be provided and the teacher will assist students in preparing work for competitions.
