Computer Graphic Design 2 takes the skills learned in graphic design 1 and pushes students to utilize their creativity and design skills at the next level. Advanced problem solving and organizational design skills will be put to the test as students tackle project challenges assigned to them. Software used includes: Adobe Ps Adobe Ai Adobe Dn Adobe Id Adobe Fresco Photopea. Gravit Necessary Materials Needed Daily

Grading Scale Grades are derived on a point basis. Points are assigned for supplies, progress checks, worksheet, projects, papers, tests, etc. At the end of each grading period, all points are added up and computed as follows:
100 - 90 % A
89 -80 % B
79 - 70 % C
69 - 60 % D
59 - 0 % F
Grading If extra help is needed, the student will need to spend extra time outside of class. The software needed to complete projects will be available to students in the classroom as well as in the Computer User Center and the TLC. Projects will be graded with the following criterion on an advanced level:
Creativity
Effort
Following the directions and expectations of the assignment
Craftsmanship
Aesthetics
Final Exam Exams will measure student achievement of previously covered content standards. Tests will include various types of questioning as well as include performance assessment. They will also include a portfolio presentation of the students’ work thus far. Due to the performance assessment as well as the portfolio presentation, students will be given time to work prior to the day of the scheduled final.
Academic Honesty It is expected that students will use genuine, sincere, and fair means for the accomplishment of tests, tasks, or projects from which evaluations of progress shall be determined. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to using others' ideas or words without properly citing them, copying another students daily homework assignments, and/or cutting and pasting from the Internet. Students found plagiarizing, copying or cheating in any way will receive automatic zeros and have phone calls made to their parents. In addition, a write-up of the incident will be given to the student’s counselor. Students may receive a permanent mark on their academic record reflecting their indiscretion and receive an F for the quarter or semester.
Attendance If a student has an excused absence from class he or she is responsible for the assignments/ homework that were missed. The student has two class days for every day he or she was excused absent to make-up the assignment. It is up to the student to inquire about missed work and tests. Zeros will be given if a student fails to make up work within an acceptable timeframe. Unexcused absences void all make-up privileges.
Late Work No late homework or tutorials will be accepted (unless an excused absence is given). Late projects will be accepted with penalty. If a project is turned in late, the student is still responsible for the work; however, credit will be deducted by a “letter grade” every day it is late unless student is working with Mrs.M on completion.
Homework Homework will include various assignments not completed during class time and project planning.
After School Lab After school lab will be held in G5, G6 or T1 on select days when we are allowed to return.
Classroom Policies (In class) 1. Always clean up after yourself. 2. Sit in assigned seat every day. 5. No grooming in class. 6. No food in the classroom. 7. Phones or other electronics will only be allowed with teacher permission.
(IF WE GO REMOTE) E-Learning: 1. Be on-time (don't forget to charge your technology!) 2. Mute your microphone (extra noise is distracting) 3. Chat responsibly (keep comments on task- use the chat function to ask questions appropriately) 4. Dress responsibly (the school dress code still applies)
Failure to follow these rules will result in an after school detention and/or a call/email home.
Classroom Norms: RESPECT! ( we will come up with these as a group)
Graphic Design 2 Honors Portion: *please note this is only if you are taking this course for honors credit!
Goal: Students will be a more independent self-sufficient learner of the arts as well as a leader within the classroom.
In addition to the college prep curriculum students will complete the following: Independent Quarterly Project: (Midterm progress checks and completed projects due at the end of each quarter) Students will develop a four piece body of work that works within a theme throughout the school year.
Students will turn in one piece per quarter and have a progress checkpoint at midterm.
Students will come up with 10 potential ideas for their independent project and will choose one with the guidance of the teacher.
Current Events in Art Project: (To be completed quarterly) Students will write a “one page report” quarterly describing a current event that is happening in the art world, an article highlighting a current artist, or something else they find interesting pertaining to graphic design. (Students may use any of the magazines/books provided in the classroom or a credible internet source!)
