Encore is a related arts class that focuses on creative expression and arts exploration. We do this primarily through art, poetry and creative writing, music, and creative movement. Students in this related arts class are graded Pass/Fail in 3 elements: 1) Did you follow instructions, 2) Did you finish, and 3) Did you do your best? A student's skill level in the art form is not assessed in this class, only their skill level in the 3 categories listed above. Students are charged with having an open mind and being willing to work hard at trying new things.
Students will have the opportunity to explore many different artistic projects, and will do one research project during the class term. Details will be given at the time of the assignment.
Students not meeting class expectations will be subject to a conference with their teacher and an administrator. Continued refusal to comply will be referred to the office for discipline.
