Art Time

Art Time

Dear families,

During this time of remote learning, I have been providing art activities and posting some submitted artwork here on my blog.  Beginning April 20, I will be providing art instruction, grading submitted art, and documenting student participation.  New artwork, as well as work previously submitted, will be used to complete 4th quarter report cards.

Please be sure to submit all photographs of artwork to me via email buentir@dearbornschools.org make sure you have your child’s name AND classroom teacher’s name in the subject line or text body. Feel free to combine two weeks worth of art photos in one email.

Each assignment will have a total point value of 5, the highest point value that can be achieved for 4th quarter will be 60. I will provide more information on grading later.

Below, you will find the district’s guidelines, in regards to time allotment for art. Please know that I am always available via email and will respond within 24 hours, but usually much sooner during weekdays. I am working regularly scheduled hours 8:30-12:00 and 1:00-3:30 M-F. If for some reason I have not responded within 24 hours to any questions, please reach out again.
