As I said this week, I like to keep it real simple, so that you always know where you stand and why. I set high standards for you. It’s hard to get an A in my class. The purpose of my approach to grading is not to keep you from getting excellent grades, but to push you to make excellent work.
Simple point system:
Homework:
- 432 Figures(due Sept. 27th) 7 pts.
- 70 figures & 2 heads (due Oct. 4th) 7 pts.
- Bargue Drawing (due Oct. 11th) 7 pts.
- MFA Sculpture 3 Photos and 2 Drawings(due Oct. 25) 7 pts.
- MFA Sculpture Finish (due Nov. 1st) 7 pts.
- (due Nov. 8th) 7 pts.
- (due Nov. 15th) 7 pts.
- (due Nov. 22) 7 pts.
- Flat Figure (due Nov. 29th) 7 pts.
- Figure as Landscape (due Dec. 6th) 7 pts.
Total: 70 pts.
Participation:
- In class critique (weekly) 10 pts.
- In class work (weekly) 10 pts.
- Online blog comments (at least 1 per week) 10 pts.
Total:30 pts.
Total: 100 pts.
Generally, Here’s how you get 7 points for a homework assignment:
(Varies by assignment)
(Varies by assignment)
- Complete assignment 1 pt.
- Demonstrate care 1 pt.
- Demonstrate basic understanding of assignment 1 pt.
- Demonstrate observational skills 1 pt.
- Excellence in charcoal on paper technique 1 pt.
- Demonstrate creative approach to assignment 1 pt.
- Overall masterful drawing 1 pt.
Total 7 pts.
Here’s how participation is graded:
- 10 critiques, participation in each is worth 1 point.
- 10 in-class assignments, participation in each is 1 point.
- 10 weeks for commenting on the blog- 1 point for at least 1 comment/ week.
Here’s how numbers become letters:
A 90-100
B 80-89
C 70-79
D 60-69
F 00-59
Grades are important, but don’t worship them as idols to false gods. Make creating strong and beautiful pictures your top priority; the grades will fall into place.
