Core Two Discussion about effort versus achievement in art...

I spoke with Ms. Firsty about how she grades art assignments. I really like to see that she uses a rubric that has a variety of criteria. I do believe that giving an effort to meet all of the criteria always factors into a grade, when the criteria are met to some degree. In fact I think her rubrics can become very useful in our class. Give them a preview. Although my Shape (composition), Color, Text standards make up a simple rubric, the standards for the assignments that incorporate art used to illustrate concepts are not much different than Ms. Firsty's standards.

Ms. Firsty's Rubric for the Sketchbook project is here.
