Visual Art with Mrs. Longinotti Art Studio projects and Calligraphy assignments will be completed primarily as classwork. Sketchbook/ Journal and Art History research assignments will be required as homework. Studio and Sketchbook and Journal assignments will be graded by criteria listed on the rubric. Students will receive extra credit for returning rubrics and progress reports with a parent signature. 6 hours of sketchbook drawing /Art I; journal entries/ Art III/IV will be due each quarter; 2 hours of sketching or journal entries on a bi-weekly basis. See Due dates below. An Alternative assessment will be given at the end of each semester for an Exam grade. This alternative assessment will consist of a self-reflective portfolio review following the steps of Art Criticism. All artwork within students' portfolios, with the exception of pieces chosen for display and exhibition, will be available to be taken home at the end of each semester. Portfolios not respectfully taken home will be subject to points taken off of their final quarter numeric grade.
Grading by Quarter:
Students enrolled in Art III or IV for Honors credit will be required to produce one extra independent studio project (15 hours), with relevance to their contract area, outside of class per quarter, 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters, and to develop a digital portfolio of their artwork due at the conclusion of 4th quarter.

Many supplies can also be obtained at Office supply stores, general stores like Walmart and Kmart, and pharmacy stores like CVS and Walgreens, in addition to many online art stores, such as Jerry's Artarama in Raleigh and Cheap Joe's in Boone.

Thank you for visiting my Teacher Page. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have been an art educator for 29 years with the WSFC Schools. I have taught at West Forsyth HS for the past 11 years. I accomplished National Board Certification in 1998 and my NBCT renewal- October '08. I attended the Maryland Institute, College of Art, BFA; University of the Arts/ Philadelphia, MA; I also have taken classes towards varied certifications and for enrichment at UNCG, A& T State University/ Supervision & Administration, Wake Forest University/ American Foundations, New York University/ Study Art Program in Venice, Salem College/ Mentor Teacher.
In anticipation of retiring with 30 years of teaching in the WSFCS, at the end of the next school year, I am 'walking the talk' as a lifelong learner and preparing myself in soon becoming a fulltime professional artist. Currently I am an MFA Candidate of the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University and will graduate in June 2012. You can see my MFA Blog, to view my work completed for this program (see link below).
