Grading
•
In this class, a system of ratio grades is used. Each assignment or project will
be assigned a point value depending on the complexity of the assignment.
The grade will be calculated by dividing the number of points earned by the
total number of possible points.
The following will be considered when assigning points:
Work ethic
Creativity and display of a ”personal voice”
Following directions/process
Personal growth and improvement
Often students will be required to a complete self-assessment rubric and
reflection after a project has been completed.
If a student misses a class, the student will not be given extra time during class
time to complete the assignment/project. The student will need to make
arrangements to catch up on their work either during lunchtime, tutorial, or
after school - this applies to all absences including absences from sports or
appointments.
Class Portal
• An art class portal will be available on the
Epiphany Website. The portal will list current
projects, dates and information for art events
and contests, as well as other information
about art class.
