FOR YOUR WHEEL THROWING PROJECT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO TURN IN ANY PAPERWORK EXCEPT FOR A RUBRIC. (JUST LIKE THE PINCH POT PROJECT) YOU WILL PRODUCE A MINIMUM OF THREE PIECES FOLLOWING THE PROCESS THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE DEMOS AND DVD.
FINAL PROJECT
THE CLASS WILL DECIDE ON A GENERAL THEME FOR THE FINAL. ("cities" was voted as the theme for the quarter one class) FROM THERE WE WILL WORK IN GROUPS OF 2-4 PEOPLE AND EACH GROUP WILL FOCUS ON A DIFFERENT SUBJECT THAT IS A PART OF THE THEME. EXAMPLE: THE CLASS DECIDES THAT THE THEME WILL BE RAINFOREST. EACH GROUP WILL PROPOSE A SUBJECT THAT RELATES TO THAT TOPIC, SO ONE GROUP MAY DO TREES, ANOTHER MAY DO WILDLIFE, ETC… YOU WILL NEED REFERENCE FOR YOUR WORK. THE REFERENCE WILL NEED TO BE TURNED IN WITH THE USUAL RUBRIC, PROJECT DESCRIPTION SHEET AND SKETCH THAT IS DONE BEFORE BUILDING. (SKETCHES DONE AFTER CONSTRUCTION DO NOT COUNT)
FINAL PROJECTS WILL PRESENTED ON THE LAST DAY OF CLASS AND COUNTS FOR 20% OF YOUR GRADE SO DO YOUR BEST! EACH STUDENT WILL BE GRADED FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE FINAL PROJECT.

CERAMICS- BROKEN KILN-updated
Unfortunately our kiln has not been functional for the last two weeks and we are hoping it will be repaired before October. This has left us in a situation where we have not been able to complete assignments that have been built in class. Once the repairs have been made we will be catching up on firings and grades will be posted as soon as the assignments are completed. Sorry for the delay in being able to get an accurate sense of students' current grades. Any parents with questions or concerns are strongly encouraged to call or email anytime!
UPDATE: KILN IS ONCE AGAIN WORKING AS OF 9/29/09 AND FIRINGS HAVE BEGUN!
ART 7 AND ART 8 -elements of art-
STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE AND LEARN THE ELEMENTS OF ART. WE WILL WORK ON VARIOUS PROJECTS THAT DEAL WITH:
LINE
SHAPE
FORM
COLOR
VALUE
TEXTURE
SPACE
THERE WILL BE A QUIZ BASED ON THE FIRST 6 WEEKS OR SO OF OUR STUDIES. THIS ENSURES THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO SPEAK THE BASIC LANGUAGE OF THE VISUAL ARTS. STUDENTS WILL SIMPLY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFINE THE ELEMENTS IN THEIR OWN WORDS.
