Midterm Grading

Midterm Grading- Color Foundations (FD160)

For your midterm, you will be turning in a folder on the server, which will include

1. scans, or photographs of all your finished projects,

2. your artist research papers

You will also be handing in your sketchbooks so I can see the progress you have made on your in class assignments.  I will be giving you a grade for your sketchbook assignments that is equivalent to roughly 200 points (20 percent of your grade). 

Sketchbooks will be graded for overall content (sketches, notes, splotches, etc) and also for organization and construction (are all your splotches thrown in there, or are they neatly pasted in the book in an orderly fashion?)

You will label your folder with “lastname_firstname_midterm” and place it in our classroom folder.  You will also place a copy of this folder in the dropbox.

To begin: 

1. You will need to scan your images using one of the many scanners that are available to you in the mac-labs and in the library.  If you prefer to photograph your works, that is fine too.

2. You will edit and adjust the images to make sure they look professional using Photoshop of the photo editing software of your choosing. Your images should be 300 dpi and sized about 8x10.  You will need one image per weekly assignment.

3. Create a folder (on your desktop or somewhere handy).  Drop your four word.doc artist research papers in the folder, then your edited images in the folder as well.  Each image should be named “Lastname_Assignment title.” You should have images for the following.

1. Achromatic

2. Prismatic

3. Chromatic

4. Muted

5. Color Harmony

This, along with your papers will total 900 points.   Your sketchbook will count as 200 points, and the midterm assignment (properly scanning your images, and placing all these files on the server) will count as 100 points.   Thus,  there is a total of 1200 points that you will be assessed on to process your midterm grade.
