Homework:
Take home and finish anything not completed in class.
May Homework:
Project: Create a 3D space in a shoebox. Use scraps of material for curtains and rugs, paint and paper the walls. Make furniture from wood, clay or cardboard (or use dollhouse furniture). Don't forget doors and windows! Decorate room to look like your 3D interior design artwork. Due May 23
********************************************
*Please note - In Middle School, each class assignment counts as a whole grade. It is important that parents not throw out Incomplete work. Have students finish their unfinished assignments and return to school the next week. Incomplete class work that is not returned will receive a lower grade (C or D). Students in middle school are responsible for making up all class work or homework missed when absent from class for any reason.
For some reason, many students are not coming prepared with supplies for art. I am going to start grading down for not having art supplies.
Finally, many of the middle school class assignments are dependent on I-pad assignments for homework being brought in ON TIME, so don't forget homework.
