Classroom Expectations
• While art is a fun and creative atmosphere, all school rules apply in
my classroom.
• Be prompt and prepared with all necessary materials and assignments.
• Wear ID at all times.
• Sit in assigned seats and remain seated until the bell rings.
• Have a positive attitude and show respect to everyone.
• When I am talking the classroom should be silent. This respect
should also extend to classmates.
• Keep voices at an acceptable level during work times.
• While trips out of the classroom will be minimal, you must have a
pass and ID to leave for valid reasons.
• Clean up after yourself and work as a team. Regardless of how the
room looks when you come in leave it spotless.
• Guidelines may be amended as needed.
Disciplinary Action
Each case will be evaluated on an individual basis. Serious infractions may
result in an acceleration of the consequence. For example, violence against
another student would result in an immediate referral to the office. The basic
chain of events is as follows:
• Verbal warning
• Conference with student
• Change in seat
• Phone call to parent
• Detention after class
• Detention after school
• Referral to office
Grading
Students are graded on three categories with different weights.
Participation is worth 30%. Each class period is worth 5 points. Grades for participation will be entered weekly. Therefore, each week will be worth 20 to 25 points. Students will lose participation points for tardiness, unexcused absences, and time off task.
Class projects are worth 50%. This is any production assignment and makes up the majority of their grades. Some assignments will be small and worth 10 points, while other projects may take weeks and be worth 150 points.
Assessments is the last category and is worth 20%. Occasionally students will take a quiz or test over vocabulary, materials, and processes related to the unit. These will also be worth varying point values.
Project Expectations
Effort- Did you use the time given to work on the project? Did you really try?
Meeting Requirements- Did you follow the guidelines of the project? Did you achieve the skills specific to the project?
Creativity- Did you put thought into it and make it your own?
Craftsmanship- Is the project neat and free from smudges and wrinkles, etc.
