To be as transparent as possible, here's everything that will be reflected by your midterm grade:
Gallery Review, Mindy Hirt's show: 20 points
Reading #1 (posted on blog by 7 am day of the discussion): 20 points
Reading #2 (posted on blog by 7 am day of the discussion): 20 points
Gallery Review, Lee Oliver's show: 20 points
1st Blog posting (3 Baltimore artist picks): 5 points
Artist project- 1st email sent out: 5 points
Sketchbook check #1: 25 points
Rough draft of artist statement: 20 points
Total: 135 points
--------------------------------------------------------
While all of the above is numerical, keep in mind I'm also looking at:
-Did you come to Mindy's opening reception?
-Did you come to Lee's opening reception?
-Did you come to Andy Holtin's artist talk?
-Your attendance to class up to this point, including tardiness
-How much work have you completed/are you working on right now?
Everyone's pacing is different, but you should all be working on several pieces halfway into the semester. Learn to balance "fast" work with "slow" work--basically working on several pieces at a time. There are less than 8 weeks left of the semester, and to only complete 1 or 2 pieces throughout the entire Spring means that you're not going to get a high grade in Advanced Studio.
Also see the grading criteria listed in our syllabus:
A: Student produces excellent work and understands all concepts; student is advancing technically and aesthetically, and is developing an attitude of professionalism; student expresses interest and motivation in developing ideas and completing assignments. Student goes beyond the minimum requirements of a given assignment.
B: Student produces good work and understands most of the concepts; student is beginning to advance technically and aesthetically, and is developing an attitude of professionalism; student expresses interest and motivation in developing ideas and completing assignments.
C: Student produces competent work and understands some of the concepts; student displays average development.
D: Student produces poor work and fails to understand concepts; does not advance technically or aesthetically and is not developing an attitude of professionalism; student is unmotivated.
F: Student has no concern for concepts and fails to complete assignments; student is excessively absent.
If anyone has any questions about their midterm grade, which I will submit next week, you can see me during my office hours.
