Art 1 Goals
By the end of this semester, you will effectively engage in the language of visual art and use it to
communicate ideas. You will apply creative and critical thinking skills to your artistic expression and
create art with a variety of tools and techniques. You will be able to understand the global/cultural
aspect of art and how it overlaps with other areas of life. Finally, you will critically reflect on artwork,
including your own.

General Classroom Rules

Always LISTEN. Do not talk while others are talking. Be RESPECTFUL to all people and materials.

Be ON TIME, prepared and ready to work. Leave the room CLEANER than you found it!

Missed & Late Work

YOU are responsible for missed work. Please see another classmate or speak with me after class
about missed work. It is your responsibility to make up missed time on projects during your lunch, at
home, or after school. If you are absent on the project due date then, the project is due at the
beginning of class on the next school day. Otherwise 5 points will be deducted from the final
grade for each day the project is late. One extra day will be given for the 1st-3rd absence during a
project.

Ethical Issues
All artwork must be of YOUR OWN CREATION. You may not copy others’ ideas or work. Be aware of
copyright infringement. Merging ideas from a variety of sources to create your own image is acceptable
and more creative. All artwork must be appropriate for school. Your artwork represents you, the
school, your teacher, the community, and will be displayed. (No Drugs, Alcohol, Violence, or
Obscenities) Non-Compliance with this will result in a zero.
Discipline Guidelines
Because of the nature of the art classroom, we have rules to insure a safe and orderly environment. It is
important that students follow these guidelines or there will be consequences. I do not tolerate any
misconduct. Consequences include loss of studio privileges, lunch detention, parent contact, and
office referral.
