=== Each project will begin with sketches and a design. Along with the sketches, students will research the medium and attach any images and information pertaining to this project into the sketchbook. Each student will need to be able to thoughtfully describe the methods and the intentions of his or her artwork. Studio rules always apply. ===

Project 1 - Making Art Together
This is NOT a "group project." This IS a collaboration between three students. For this project, all students are responsible for the final product and the grade will reflect this.

The rubric for this project is the same as the other projects for the actual artwork. You will fill out the rubric as a unit. Your final grade will depend on the ability for the group to work in a cohesive manner on one work of art. **The classroom rules always apply when working in the studio. **

Some special rules regarding this group effort:
 * Everybody works on the project.
 * Only give **constructive ** criticism. e.g. Do NOT say, “ This stinks.” say, “I think that it would be better if **we ** did this instead.”
 * Be helpful to group members – everybody works at a different speed, if you need to help another student work through something, do so. The group must progress together and your grade is based on everybody doing the project together.
 * No whining about group members. When you are assigned a group, you must work with that group until further notice, so it’s a good idea to become friendly with everybody. Groups will be assigned by the teacher and will include both girls and boys.
 * Only **one ** person from each group is allowed to gather materials. This will be decided by a roll of the dice. Highest roll per group is the material gatherer.
 * If someone in a group is not pulling his/her weight, the group may discuss the problem with the teacher, and, if a solution is not found, a group can kick that person out of the group as a last resort.
 * Each group will be given a 0 or 1 for participation everyday, which is based on the **entire group. If even one person is off task, the group will receive a 0, so keep each other on task. **

** Project 2 - Wire Sculpture & Assemblage Art **
This project will be an individual project. You may choose to do one of two projects including: Assemblage Art and Wire Sculpture.  The rubric will be used and completed by both the artist and the teacher.
