Studio Art & Design II, Class Expectations THERE IS DRAWING HOMEWORK IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK EVERY NIGHT. IF I DO NOT ASSIGN A SPECIFIC SUBJECT YOU WILL MAKE A DRAWING OF YOUR OWN CHOICE. EACH PAGE MUST BE DATED. CLASS WORK/HOMEWORK: Assignments will be given from the syllabus but all students will be encouraged to pursue personally motivated work. The sketchbook is an important tool for every artist and all students will be expected to draw/write/compile visual and verbal information in their sketchbooks on a daily basis. ASSIGNMENTS IN OR OUT OF CLASS ARE NOT A REQUEST - THEY ARE REQUIRED - ALL ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED ON TIME. FAILURE TO HAND IN ALL ASSIGNMENTS BY THE END OF A QUARTER WILL RESULT IN A FAILURE FOR THAT QUARTER. CRITIQUES: There will be no tests in the traditional sense. Test will be by critique. ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR CRITIQUES - Every student is required to participate in the critique sessions - they are the class tests and therefore no excuse other than a school sanctioned absence will be accepted. The class critique is an open forum where the instructor will not only make comments concerning technical and aesthetic problems and successes but will encourage the entire class to respond. Positive comments are most desirable because it is more valuable to learn from each other the good things that we have done as opposed to the negative. Likes and dislikes, although
important, are only a small part of the class critique. All students will be encouraged to express their opinions which will be directed toward technique and aesthetics. GRADING: Works of art are graded based upon the student's effort, presentation, and time spent on the assignment. Grades are also determined by neatness, ability to follow directions, interpretation of the assignment, technique and quality of execution. Of all of these qualities other than time spent, creative risk taking - TRYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT - is the most desirable and will produce the best results. GRADING PERCENTAGES: 50%: CRITIQUES: All major class and out of class assignment. 25%: PORTFOLIO: all class portfolios. 25%: HOMEWORK: to include the sketchbook or any other minor assignment given by the instructor for completion outside of class. NO EXTRA CREDIT, except in unusual circumstances initiated by the instructor and only for students who have completed all work on time and according to directions. PLAGIARISM OR TO PRESENT ANOTHER PERSONS WORK AS YOUR OWN IN PORTFOLIO OR EXAM IS AN ACADEMIC VIOLATION - AUTOMATIC FAILURE. DISCIPLINE: THE FREEDOM OF THE ARTROOM: All Moeller Art/Photo students enjoy a privilege that I like to call "The Freedom of the Art Room". This freedom requires a great deal of maturity and responsibility on the part of all students. Those that do not practice this maturity and responsibility will have that freedom curtailed or revoked. Mutual respect among students is required. Theft, vandalism, handling another's work without permission, or the destruction of another's work or property will exclude a student from this class. I expect you to take pride in all that you do and assume that others feel the same. The only thing that belongs in your mouth during this class is what God or the Orthodontist put in there. As stated in the School Student Handbook, no food is to be consumed anywhere outside of the school cafeteria. KEEP YOUR GUM AND CANDY AT HOME. GUM CHEWING IS INAPPROPRIATE AT SCHOOL. ALSO, REMEMBER TO "KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF". Chewing your fingernails, any other part of your body, clothes, pens, pen tops, paper, books, dirt, grit, desk, school property of any kind, other students, the property of other students, dried flavored or unflavored, salted or unsalted, corn, or other crunchy product; to include, dried meats, fruits, vegetables, cow, pig, lamb, or other animal product either living, dead or in suspended animation - IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THIS CLASS. Persons not able to control their bodies and the actions of their bodies during class will receive a self-control training assignment for homework to assist them in overcoming their difficulty. (You will hand-write this page twice.) THIS ALSO APPLIES TO DRINKS. DO NOT BRING LIQUIDS TO CLASS. If you fear dehydration during class, consume sufficient liquids before class at
one of the many cool and refreshing water fountains that abound in the hallways at Archbishop Moeller High School. Please try to relieve your body of all waste products between classes. If you need to blow your nose during class remember that this is not grade school and, no, I do not have a tissue for you, nor will I excuse you from class to go search for one. Keep a handkerchief in your pocket or a sufficient packet of tissues in your backpack.
