For my Art 1 kids, projects are worth 50% of their grade, homework
(weekly homework drawings along with occasional reading/writing
assignments) is 35% and their work ethic (how well they use their
class time for art production) is 15%.

I use rubrics for all projects, for their homework drawings, etc.

By the time a few kids get to Honors art, their projects are 70% of
their grade. They're the ones working on portfolios for college/art
school submissions.
