Individual Paintings will be checked and assessed the second Thursday of each month. All work completed at home and handed in are counted as tests. This process is for the students’ growth of his/her own style as an artist and SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
Participation
In order for an artist to succeed in an educational and thriving environment at Beacon Charter, one must be fully engaged and present in all of the learning activities that occur in the classroom. Attendance in all classes is mandatory and habitual absence from class may result in a meeting with The Artistic Director. Each arts faculty member will be evaluating student attendance in a proper manner related to their art.

An average of these daily grades will be calculated based on the following format – 0 = non participatory, 50 = minimal effort, 100 = full effort, Exempt = excused absence (see student handbook for definition).
Late Work Policy: No late work will be excepted without special arrangements made with the instructor and Mrs. Murphy. Any work handed in late will have 10 points removed per class day late.
