Weekly Homework
🌱 Our Homework Philosophy
At Sharz Art Design, homework is about noticing, trying, and growing.
Students are encouraged to work at their own level, revisit ideas explored in class, and enjoy art-making at home without pressure.
Each task includes:
-
A core idea (everyone starts here)
-
Extension options (for developing & advanced students)
-
A reflection prompt (even verbal answers count!)
📌 Where to Find Homework:
You can access each week’s homework right here or on ClassDojo in the class story.
📤 How to Submit Your Work:
Since I’m not always at each studio and may not have time to check homework in class, please submit your completed work in one of the following ways:
- Upload it to ClassDojo as a private message to Mrs. Cormack
- Email it to enquiries@sharzartdesign.com
⏳ No Deadline – Work at Your Own Pace!
There’s no time frame to complete each task, so take your time and enjoy the process. Once submitted, I’ll review your work and provide written feedback to help guide your artistic journey.
Happy creating! 🎨✨
