Grades-Your grades will be based on craftsmanship, desire for improvement, understanding of the assignment/project, and personal effort. Each assignment will graded on an individual basis
and your demonstration of improvement throughout the semester will have a major impact on your grade. There are three areas which grades will be taken-

Daily Work- 20% Includes daily assignments, and participation grade.
                            If you are absent, you need to makeup all the time you missed
Sketchbook- 20% Includes weekly sketchbook assignments, plus any assigned
                           work which is expected to be completed outside of the class.
Projects- 60%     Includes all major projects.

Expectations-

Be prepared and on time
Quietly listen while instruction is given
Be respectful to others and their art work
Try to be neat and careful of your own work

Be responsible for your own supplies and return any you may have borrowed

My expectations of you are very straight forward, I expect you to demonstrate the best of your abilities throughout the Semester. I expect you to complete all daily work, homework and projects.
I do not give extra credit work, so it is important to keep your grade up you need to complete all assignments
It is very important in an Advanced class to keep the lines of communication open, if you do not understand an area or need help or would like to know about your progress/grade - please ask.
