Quiz #2 Today...

Students took their second quiz today, and graded it afterward with markers. 

About 10 minutes of study time with partners at their tables was aloud before taking the quiz. 

As always, it is ten questions long with one bonus question. 

Corrections for all missed items will be copied on Tuesday of next week.

Oh, Happy Day! Glazing clay masks and pottery...

November 18th, 2010 (Thursday).

Hey Gang,

Today we are adding glass color to our clay sculptures of Masks and Functional pottery (for seventh grade). 

Students should choose the color tied to the ceremonial purpose, and be able to explain the reasoning for the color choice for that particular ceremony.

Having Fun Yet?

:) Mr. Lile

PS - Students who finish early, can work on their persuasive painting if time alows.

Day One through Three in Art (8th Grade)

Hey Gang,

Day one (Monday, November 1st) I was not present.  Students did a series of three drawings with a substitute, and created their port folio folder (where all of there art is to be stored for the six weeks period of my class.

Day Two:  November the 3rd, we discusses the class expectations and points about organizing.
     - Respect and the three different types.    
               1.   Conditional:   Manipulative and self-centered, on the surface.  Given to get something in
                      return, like: forgiveness, favor, etc..
               2.   Compliant:  Given out of benevelance, kindness, sense of duty.  Given considering the needs
                      of others.  It's not fair to the giver.
               3.   Relational:   Based on love and kindness.  This type is the only one that is EARNED.   It is
                       earned over time knowing a person, and based on a very high regard (opinion of that person).

We also went over the math involved in figuring out your grade at any time you need to during the six weeks.
