General Announcements:
Artyouth
Continues this week --- check the Artyouth board outside Mrs. Kutz's class for updated information and a calendar.
Grades
We encourage parents to use the Home Access Center option of Gradespeed to check your child’s progress in not only our classes, but all their others at CTMS as well! Call the school at 464.2500 if you have questions on this monitoring option for parents.
Everyone was updated on their current average again on Friday. There are still a number of students with incompletes that can be taken care of by coming in to tutorials any morning beginning at 7:45 am. The six weeks grading period is coming to a close quickly --- I need to see some of you completing work. See you at tutorials!
Online Lesson Plans
We are working campus-wide to put our lessons online for our community to see what is happening day-by-day in our classrooms. Check out the lesson plan link to the left for plans in visual art. Plans for each course are posted online weekly.
Curriculum Focus for the week of Nov. 2-13, 2009
Advanced Art 8
We have begun working on masonite with colored pencil as students explore alternate materials, color and nature as our theme. Students have been working for the last week on a series of exercises to strengthen their compositions in the planning stages before moving onto masonite. These will grow with borders. Mid-week (Nov. 11) we will break from this process and work on a Youth Art Month flag design submission for the Texas Art edcuation Association. Mr. Lowke will be at conference Nov. 11-13th. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mr. Lowke
Have a GREAT week! Live art.
