Did you leave a mess? Did you leave materials out on your table? Did you place all of your materials in the proper designated storage? Points (up to 5 each class) will be deducted for these offenses. Additional detentions could be added for habitual offenders.
There will be homework in this class. Students are to use the studio time well and there will not be as much of a need for homework in most cases. Extra credit is not given in this class. If the opportunity becomes available then it is open to every student in the class and not just a few.
The student’s grade will be determined with straight points with no averages of categories. Late work is accepted for one week with a 10 point reduction each school day after the due date unless prior arrangements are made with the teacher.
Materials Needed
Each student will have their own sketchbook and kit of student owned supplies. These supplies will be purchased by the instructor with the $30.00 student fee that is to be paid to the business office. You will receive a bill from the Business Office in a few weeks for this fee. These are student owned supplies and may be taken home at any time but they need to be available for use in each art class.
