Student Goals and Guidelines
Students will be learning more advanced techniques and skills throughout this class. Each student will experience using a variety
of media, examples: Printmaking, Drawing, Pen and Ink, Acrylic Painting, and Clay/ Sculpture. We utilize all the principles of design
and the elements of art that was taught in previous art classes. At the end of this semester students will have become better artists.
Because Art 2 is an advanced class students are required to do research and write papers. I expect my students to work hard and
appreciate the art of the world and what they create. Sketchbooks are an integral part of this class. The students will use it for
notes, sketches, warm-ups, homework, and any other drawing they would like.

Missed Work/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.

Ethical Issues
All artwork must be of YOUR OWN CREATION. You may not copy others’ ideas or work. Beware 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 0%.
