8th Grade
Course Description
Art 3 is an 8th grade course where we build off techniques that have been established in Art 2. Each project will allow students to become more aware of their personal artistic expression while learning how to be creative problem solvers and well rounded artists. |
Grading
This year Boltz Middle School is switching from the Standards-Based Grading Framework to Cumulative Points Based grading for all 8th grade students. This system is new for both teachers and students and will aid 8th graders in their transition to high school. In Art, student’s grades are a cumulation of projects and assessments including but not limited to; sketchbook checks, quizzes, critiques, artist statements, gallery walks, etc. All assessments are student driven and allow for students to reflect on their own artistic practice and make personal goals for their learning. Grade points breakdown as follows: A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 70-79, D: 60-69, F: 59 and below |
