Personal Portfolios must be submitted for an interim submission of your Personal Portfolio.
Remember: this makes up 20% of your overall mark in Visual Arts
Due dates for the interim submission:
- Grade 7-8 (first group – beg. Sept. – Oct. 17) – Due Friday, Oct. 17th
- Gr. 7-8 are to have a min. of 4 hours of work related to their personal theme
- Grade 9-10 – Due Tuesday, Nov. 4th
- Fr. 9-10 are to have a min. of 5 hours of work related to their personal theme
Late submissions accepted but are subject to minus 10% per week they are handed in late. Any submissions not received by Tuesday, Nov. 4th @ 12:20 will be considered “unsubmitted” an will be considered 0% when Term 1 report cards are written
The Personal Portfolio is said to need to include a min. of 3 different mediums, however, since this is an INTERIM SUBMISSION, it is okay if you do not yet have multiple mediums of work. This will be important for the final submission of your Persona Portfolio (end of Semester One).
Please see the course syllabus for more info on the Personal Portfolio.
What to hand in:
- All your art work that you consider part of your Personal Portfolio (does not include ANY pieces that have been submitted in your Individual Assignments – no “double-dipping”)
- Your Personal Portfolio Journal – week to week documentation of your work
- Your Personal Portfolio Master List – the list at the back of your journal listing all your pieces etc.
- A rubric with reflection of what you have been working on, your thoughts as an artist, what you have learned, been challenged by, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: an interim mark is NOT a final grade. It is a “place-holder” for the purpose of providing feedback and a mark for your report card in November. For example: if you do not have the min. 6 hours, you are likely to receive a greatly reduced overall mark (which will make up 20% of your interim grade in November report card) but you can still make up the time in Term 2 of Semester One and bring up your overall mark. Your Personal Portfolio will be re-assessed at the end of the Semester on its overall quality.
If you have any questions about this, please send Mr. Ewert an Edsby message or ask for support in class. He/I am always happy to help you.
