Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

Grading details for MS Art

In the Middle School Art program is using a point system that employs both daily points and project points. Below are descriptions of these point categories and of project comments.

1. Daily Points: Students receive a point each day for how they conduct themselves in class. This makes up roughly 20% of their final grade.

a. Daily points can be lost by: being off-task, talking excessively, misusing materials, etc.

2. Project Points: There are 4 points available for every day of in class work on a project, which is about 80% of their final grade. For example: A project that is 3 days of in-class work will be worth 12 points. Project points are separate from Daily points.

a. Project points are divided into three categories: Followed Directions, Material Use, and Time Use. Each of these categories will be worth approximately one third of the project's grade. 

3. Comments: Comments are given on projects so that students are able to reflect on their work by looking at the specific feedback on their project. An example of a comment below.
