Daily Expectations:
The rules and expectations for my class include all school wide rules and the following:
1. Be on time every day ready to work.
2. Be prepared with your sketchbook, pencil, pen and any other supplies needed.
3. Be focused on the project the entire hour.
4. Be responsible for your own materials and artwork. Always clean up after yourself.
5. Be respectful of others, yourself, and any adults in the room. This includes the classroom, projects, materials, opinions, and ideas.


Attendance: 

Good attendance is vital to success in all studio art classes as assignments are done during class time. Major projects do not easily transport home during the creative process for makeup work. This requires missing work time to be made up after school. Please make every effort to be in attendance and focused everyday.


Supplies: 

Typical drawing and painting supplies are provided. Students are expected to bring a pencil and sketchbook to class daily (Sketchbooks should not be larger than  9x12in size and can be used from previous art classes. They can be purchased at stores such as Walmart, Target, Michael’s etc.)
