Evaluation:
- Your graded AP portfolio grade is different from the grade you receive in this class for your OHS transcript. The AP College Board will rate you on a cumulative scale. I will evaluate you on a standard rubric for all projects that also heavily weighs on your progress, productivity, and ability to finish works by the class due date. These grades are important to your GPA, as any art school will be interested to see your class grade AND your portfolio score.
- General attentiveness and effort is expected daily. You should plan on 2 FLEX periods a month for this course. Please remember to pre-sign up with me for FLEX.
