Visual Push Ups (Sketchbook Assignments)
You will be keeping a sketchbook for the entire year. This sketchbook will be a series of drawings, mixed media pieces and art history that you will use for your portfolio. Each one should be considered a complete art piece/research. This means that composition and principles of good design can and should be utilized.
Each Visual Push Ups will involve 3-4 class sessions. Each student should spend the first 10-15 minutes of every class session working on his or her art assignment (Visual Push Up) based on the lesson or schedule. (will be assigned in class)
A maximum of 40 minutes a week is required to render each visual push ups. If students need additional time to work on their art work/research, they may take their sketchbook and complete the assignment for homework. All work must be completed on time. In the even of a student's absence, the sketchbook page will be due of the next class of which student returns to class. The sketchbook page will then be evaluated by the art teacher and returned to the student. All Projects, Visual Push Ups, Research... must be submitted on time.
*Late work will result in a pass only grade after due date.
Term breakdown will be given to students and published on edmodo as well as rubrics.
