ART
Welcome to Good Shepherd Art!
INSTRUCTION
All lessons in art will cover four
major aspects of the visual arts; historical, aesthetic, critical and
productive.
Historical – focus on art history
and culture exemplars
Aesthetic – focus on art
appreciation
Critical – focus on elements and
principles of design
Productive – focus on studio
processes
GRADING
Students in grades K through 4
will receive grades based on class participation (50%) and class work (50%).
Students in grades 5 through 8
will receive grades based on class participation (20%), homework (20%) and
class work (60%). Students in grades 5 through 8 are required to do a weekly
sketchbook assignment as their homework. I ask that students spend a minimum of
20 minutes on each assignment. Students will receive a list of sketchbook
assignments at the beginning of each trimester for the entire grading period.
Sketchbooks can be resubmitted for a better grade (as many times as they want
throughout the trimester) as long as they are turned in on time.
SUPPLIES
All materials necessary for this
year will be supplied by Good Shepherd. If students would like to bring in
their own supplies (markers, paint brushes, crayons…) they may do so. If you
have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s progress feel free to
contact me at school on Tuesdays or by email at mhendron@goodshepherdschool.net.
