Announcements for Students and Parents: Sketchbooks have been collected from all 5 of my Beginning Art classes and are in the process of being graded. As soon as I finish a class, grades will be posted. Please be patient as this first sketchbook check takes the longest. Additionally, I am also grading two formal assessments: Value Scale and Value Forms from each student simultaneously. If anything is missing that will also be posted once I've gotten through their work. Still Life Unit Sketchbook assignments will need to begin before sketchbooks are returned to keep us on pace. These can be completed on separate paper and inserted into sketchbooks once they are returned. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you for your patience and understanding, Selena Tell.
