Grading

= = = The Art of Grading Art =



Grading art can become a tricky task. That is why many teachers do not grade art based on how "good" it is but on other attributes such as craftsmanship, problem solving, design/composition, effort, idea/inspiration, and timeliness. In essence the amount of thought and effort put into an artwork means a better grade.

Here's a breakdown of the grades students will get in this class:

Total grade = 100 points

Project 1 - 30 points Project 2 - 30 points Participation - 15 points Sketchbook - 15 points Quizzes - 10 points

Below is an example of a rubric given for each project. This is to help students to see where the grade for a project comes from.
