in class short lessons that seem less art, more learning

grades for taking notes

pop quizzes to see who was listening

Grading: Time ManagementWork on more than one art project at a time.

Work in sketchbook if ahead, see me for the topic.

Art is NOT a study hall, under no circumstance will anything but art be done during art class. This way no one is rushing through their art assignment to make time to do other homework.

If you fall behind catchup, if the class all fall behind I will quickly call the deadline. If the class stays on pace no worries, the deadline will be predictable.

Grading: LatenessLate sketckbooks NOT accepted.

Late major artwork will be graded as is, unless we have made other arrangements.

Deadlines existing prior to your absence, will be the same upon your return.

Be prompt to class, repeat offenses will hurt 15% of your final grade.

Grading: AbsencesWork on ideas in your sketchbook

Catch up on assignments quickly, I will NOT move any deadlines that have been existing.

YOU are responsible to find out what was missed

If you are sick the day before a test, expect the test the day you walk in.

Sketchbooks are always due the same day every week. Get ahead, NO LATE SKETCHBOOKS

Grading: Sketchbooks

Our due date?

Are we making them?

What will go in them?

Class Rules

Rules: Respectto yourself-----watch the self talk. Call me over before you shut down. An expert in any field was once a beginner.

to others--- be considerate of others, or be asked to sit in the hall. We are safe and fun environment, be a part of it.

to me---active listening, clean up your area, and be respectful in your tone.

to materials--they are OUR supplies, not yours. Take care of them like the borrowed items they are.

Rules: PassesI will be available to you during my prep periods with a pass from me.

Don’t enter my room with out me present.

I will not give late passes to your next class, when I have given sufficient time for your class to clean up.

Bathroom/Locker passes: don’t abuse ‘em or you’ll lose ‘em. Sign out/in properly: Ask permission, sign out, write reason, take pass, sign back in. (bathrooms only by my room)
