description
Introduction to Art is a beginner's class designed to give students a general overview of art processes and media. This is a great class for students who have never taken a high school art class or freshman who are unsure which art classes they will take in the future. �

Cell phones are to be put away where I can’t see them during class. You can look up images or listen to music during work time on your Chromebook (headphones required for music).
Exception: You may use your phone to take pictures of your art to turn in, BUT YOU MUST ASK PERMISSION.
Misuse of cellphones will result
in your phone being taken away. Misuse includes texting, snapping, video games, or any other inappropriate use during class time.
1st time: Phone taken away for 1 class.
2nd time: Phone stays in the office until the end of the day.
3rd time: Phone picked up by parents in the office at the end of the day.

commonly asked questions
Do I lose points for
late work?
There will not be any penalty for daily work that is late. For projects, they must be turned in within one week of the deadline to avoid penalties. If something comes up and you know you will not be able to complete it on time, please talk to me and we will figure out a new deadline together with no penalty.
I’m not the best artist...
will I struggle?
Artistic skill is learned, not inherited (& science will back me up on this). No one enters a math class expecting to receive an ‘F’ if they don’t understand the next semester’s worth of material. In Art class, you will be graded on your effort and your willingness to work hard to improve your skills--NOT your personal style or skill level.
Grading &
Policies
bathroom passes
Sign out at the door and take the pass with you when you go to the bathroom. If you need to go at the beginning of class, please check in with me before you go. You are allowed to go any time you need to, but make sure you talk to me if you miss directions. *Excessive trips to the bathroom will result in a discussion and possible phone call home.
food & drinks
Drinks are allowed at your tables, but if you would like to eat, I ask that you wash hands and eat only when you are not handling art materials. Many of the materials we use can be harmful if swallowed, including residue or dust that is left on your hands.
If you are absent, you will have 5 days to make up your work. You are responsible for talking to me and asking about what you missed. You are able to check out art supplies or work during lunch to make up missed work or get additional help.

I know I can do better...
can I re-submit work?
We learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes, and a willingness to admit we have room to grow is the hallmark of any great artist. If you get a grade back you’re not happy with, don’t stress out - simply consider it a critique or ask for help and then re-submit it!
Reclaiming assignments
If you receive 60% or less on a project, you MUST make changes or redo it within 5 school days of receiving a grade on. You can receive up to 100% on the project after reclaiming it. You may also choose to re-submit daily work for a higher grade at any time.
