7.	EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
	Painting III is a studio class in which personal expression, painting skills, techniques, and media are applied. The class requires that the student complete 5 framed paintings and a painting journal/sketchbook. After a painting is completed, the student will turn in the painting to the instructor for a critique and grade. If a student is not satisfied with the grade received on a graded critique, the student may improve the work and submit it for a re-evaluation. The higher of the two grades will be accepted as the student’s grade for the work.
	The final will consist of a written painting philosophy statement to be included in the student’s journal/sketchbook for the class. Five framed paintings 10 points each = 50 points.
	Journal/sketchbook to include minimally 50 sketches, 5 painting observations/ reports, and personal painting philosophy statement = 50 points.
