Calendar for the last 3 1/2 Weeks of Fall Semester

#1 - You have 9 class days before this assignment is due. Paintings #2 and #3 must be completed to the level of a Painting I student according to the rubric I am including in the STUFF links, on Wed. Dec 11 at the end of class. Dec 12 and 13, will be some quick painting practice – fruit, ornaments, etc. seasonal and small – 4X6 or so – more on these later.

#2 - Your final exam for this semester will be to write your Artist Statement - I've posted the entire assignment (found a new cool GADGET called pages - it's in the upper right corner above the blog lists - it's called STUFF). I'll also give you a printed copy. I will post websites where you can read other artist's statements and you can read mine also. The Artist Statement can be quite a journey into why we do what we do! It will be due on Dec. 17 at the beginning of class. We will listen to each other pour out our souls in class - not really, but let's be brave and read a few!

#3 - I'm not sure exactly what the exam schedule is, but if it's like last year, 1, 2 and 3 will be Wed. Dec 18. 

If your grade, grades and attendance allow you to be exempt from this class, all of your stuff  - the papers, supplies you’ve borrowed, containers, paints(except the 6 container or the little plastic ones with lids, brushes, tables, tall horizontal file in back, and your drawer must be cleaned out, trashed, repacked, neatened up or whatever. Also your drawer key must be checked into the box. You need to have this done before you leave school on Dec.17 (not during this class), in order to be exempt.  

I will check you off the list because it will be a grade!!

#4 The rubric (grading sheet) for the National Geographic paintings is in STUFF also - you need one for each Natl Geo painting - these need to be printed out and when you grade yourself, turn it in so I can grade it.
