6th Grade Visual Arts Class
Mrs. Margaret Parker
This is a daily 9 week studio/lab class and we do most of our work during class. There is very little need for homework unless a student is absent. Any extra drawing that a student does outside of class is wonderful. The more practice, the better the work.
Class projects and activities are developed around the eight Indiana Visual Arts Standards themes and from the Discipline Based Art Education components of art history, studio work, aesthetics (thinking about what art is), and criticism (assessment).
Projects include work in 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions. These can include drawing, painting, printing, ceramics, sculpture, weaving, bookmaking, writing, and research.
Each student is expected to
- Do the tasks
- Have materials (a regular pencil)
- Be where they belong
- Control themselves
- Follow directions
- Speak considerately
Grading is done individually by me. Students are not compared to each other but there are requirements for each project or activity. I’m assuming that every student will get an “A”. If the work is not completed satisfactorily or not turned in, the points will be lower.
Most major projects are worth 25 points. A daily point is given for satisfactory participation. Behavior will affect the mid-term and final grade.
Supplies are a sharpened pencil every day. It can be left in the student folder for the 9 weeks. All other supplies are furnished.
