ASSESSMENT
Assessment is the process of judging in terms of criteria. Assessment is an important
part of expected learning outcomes. Criteria are expected outcomes and observable
evidence of learning. The main purpose of assessment should be to improve teaching
and learning and to measure student’s progress.
40/60 is the total percentage of what that assignment is worth of your grade.
**All students begin the course with an “A” and it is up to the student to maintain that
average.
BELLWORK
Each week, you will be given a prompt when you enter the classroom. This will be
focused around Art History. Day one I will introduce the artist and you will spend 5-10
minutes writing or drawing about the artist, artwork or period of work. The next few days
will be similar as you will be drawing or writing and or comparing what you have
learned. All sketchbook entries are graded and you will be expected to get with a friend
or classmate to copy what you have missed.
