How is art graded?
Because everyone is born with certain skills and abilities, art may not be one of your childs strong points.The archdiocese grades art on a scale of 1(fail)-4(exceptional),and class participation is half of the final grade. As long as your child comes prepared to class, is respectful to fellow students and myself and is willing to learn there is no reason that will recieve below a 3.Back to Top

What can I do to encourage art appreciation in my home?
Designate a drawer in your house or sturdy cardboard box as an art drawer . In this space include crayons, marking pens, paper, and a pair of scissors. Let your child know where art materials can be used - at the kitchen table, at a small child-sized table, or outside. Some of the most enjoyable art materials are a bit messy and you want to be sure that the space you choose is one that can be cleaned easily. Find places to display your child's art - on the refrigerator, on a wall in the child's room, or in a hallway. Displaying children's art lets them know you think it's important and attractive. Frame the artwork you would be amazed what that will do for your childs self esteem. And most of all encourage your child to talk about his/her artwork.Back to Top
