Extra Credit - Students may receive extra credit points for artwork created out of the classroom or in the classroom if time allows. Extra credit work must appear to have taken a considerable amount of time (at least 45 minutes or more) and show some detail. Extra credit work may be handed in any time before the end of each quarter.
Supplies – Every student will receive a supply list for the items needed in Art class. Some supplies will be provided. Supplies are to be brought to class with you and must leave with you. No supplies should be stored or left in the Art room.
Behavior – All present in the classroom including students, teachers, and other creative beings are to respect each other, their belongings and their school and its property. Simple: Don't do anything that keeps this from happening!
School-wide rules will apply to the Art classroom. (Safe, Respectful, Responsible)
Students will collaborate to create classroom expectations.
