MATERIALS

All materials are covered by the class fee except for Painting. Painting classes need to provide their own brushes, and palette (can be purchased from the school).

All classes may need to occasionally bring things from home.

GRADING PROCEEDURES

20% is attendance (serving detention does NOT recover lost participation points for tardies, lates and unexcused absences).

Rest of the grade is based on % of points earned for:

ARTIST GROUPS

Each student is expected to participate in an “Artist Group”

We will talk more about this later.

HOMEWORK HOMEWORK IS A BIG PART

OF YOUR GRADE! Plan on doing homework

for this class every time we meet, however, if you work hard in class you can often do your home work in class.

EXTRA CREDIT (& RE-DOS)

You can earn up to 50 points extra credit per term.

You can do extra art projects, you can visit an Art Museum or I have some art magazines you can read and answer questions.

I also allow “re-dos” IF they are turned in no more than 2 weeks after the dead line.

LATE WORK

1. Any assignment turned in after the due date receives ½ credit, UNLESS IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A SIGNED LATE PASS!

2. Late passes are given for excused absences and pre-approved extensions.

3. LATE PASSES ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER THE DUE DATE!

4. Due date are written in journals and posted on the class website if you forget (www.shhsart.com).

5. I don’t take late work the last week of the term.

HONESTY

I expect 100% honesty (No lying, cheating, deceiving, etc.)

If I catch you not being 100% honest you lose all points for the assignment and up to 50 additional points.

I have no sense of humor about dishonesty.

EXPECTATIONS

RESPECT Yourself Other students Teacher Equipment and

supplies

PARTICIPATION Prepared Good attitude Do assignments Use time wisely Join discussions Clean up

LEAVING CLASS

DON’T LEAVE CLASS WITHOUT A HALL PASS!

If you do you will lose 20 points and get marked as an unexcused absence (even if it is 2 minutes before the bell rings)

HALL PASSES

When ya gotta go ya gotta go! You can use the hall pass up to 3 times per term (JUST ASK AND SIGN OUT).

If you don’t use them you can use them for extra credit at the end of the term.

TARDIES

REALLY, REALLY try to get to class on time!

YOU are responsible for what you missed if you are tardy.

If you are late, BE SURE TO SIGN IN or you will be marked absent.

ABSENCES

If you miss school for a legitimate reason, including school excused absences, you have TWO WEEKS to find out what you missed and make it up.

Students with UNEXCUSED absences will NOT be allowed to make up the work. If you choose to skip class you choose to get a zero!
