Art Message from Ms. Tague

4^th and 5^th Grade Sketchbook Assignment 2012/2013

• Students are required to turn in one sketchbook drawing per week.

• Mrs. Tague will give a drawing assignment each week during art class. Assignments will also be posted on the "Sketchbook" bulletin board in the art room and on http://irvingartclass.blogspot.com.

• If a student is absent for an art class they are still responsible for the assigned drawing and must turn in 2 drawings the following week during art.
   
• Mrs. Tague will check and grade the drawings during class each week.

• Students report card grades each trimester are a combination of the student's sketchbook, class artwork and participation.

 

STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THEIR SKETCHBOOK TO ART EACH WEEK.*
*NOTE: Students will be making their own sketchbooks in art, they will not need to purchase a sketchbook.

When is a drawing complete?

• Did you fill the whole page with your drawing?
• Did you take your time and do your best work?
• Did you include details?

Drawing tips:

• Spend at least 15 minutes on each drawing. Time yourself.
• Draw the assignment you were given for the week.
• Add lots of details.
• Practice drawing techniques you’ve learned in art class.
• Don't wait until the last minute before art class to finish your drawing!

Sketchbook Drawing Grades:

E = Excellent. The drawing was completed on time and very well done.  It is clear that the student spent a lot of time on the drawing and went beyond what was required.

S = Satisfactory. The drawings is completed on time. It is obvious that student put some time and thought into the drawing.

NI = Needs Improvement. The student did not complete the drawing on time. The drawing looks rushed, shows little effort. The drawing does not represent the student’s best work.
