Art Grades

Grades in art are based on the young artist's effort, creativity and 
application of concepts. I encourage the artists to trust themselves and to 
think outside of the box.  Also each art piece is 100% child created and 
wonderful in everyway.  I do not use any kits or premade samples for the 
young artists to copy.  I believe in creativity!

The visual art grading system is as follows:

E= The best grade a young artist can receive.
S= This grades means the young artist needs to work a little harder.
I or U=  They mean the the young artist needs to work a lot harder.
