Class Procedures

Silently begin your “warm-up” • Wait silently for instructions/ • introductions • No talking during announcements Coming to class Be in assigned seat BEFORE the bell rings. Look to the front of the room for instructions Fill in your planner or device with any notes/hw

During Class • Studio Time: • Be focused on art • Be productive • Be in your seat. • Use tools correctly/safely • Respect the room, materials and others. • Water is allowed in a sealed container only. (no gatorade etc.) Listen silently to instructions Take notes when instructed Wait for “Studio time” to get materials Always be in assigned seat.

Daily Sketchbook 1 sketchbook warm-up each day. Begins when the bell rings Is silent work time at your seat. Is worth 20pts. each 5 sketches per week for 100pts. Total If you have an excused absence when you come back write “excused absence” in your sketchbook.

Turning in Work Turn in on time Store in classroom drawers. (Never get artwork at the start of class without permission first it will be passed out to you by designated students) Wet projects are stored on the drying rack labeled by class period. Finished projects are turned in to the “turn-in” cart on the due date only for full credit. Turn in all work with your Name (First & Last) and class period Write neatly. Write on the back, top right of artwork! Example: Sally Mae Period 6 You are responsible for turning in work and picking up work if you are absent. 1. Check my webpage 2. Check for handouts- pink “make-up” bin by the windows. 3. Check with a classmate for specifics 4. Clarify with Ms. Van Wyngeeren (please not when she is addressing the entire class)

Clean- up Everyone cleans! “Leave no trace” As a class we are responsible for leaving the room better than we found it. Do not clean up early. Clean up after yourself. Expect to help with extra class clean-up jobs Have a seat when you have completed cleaning until you are dismissed by Ms. Van Wyngeeren to line up at the door. Push chairs in.

General If we go anywhere we must stay together and stay silent

You must fill out your own pass completely if you need to go anywhere, bring me a pen. I do not give passes for drinks.

Bathroom Passes- 4 given for every 9 weeks. Once they are gone you need to wait until the hour is over.

Tardy students come in quietly. Do not disturb class. Sign in on the “tardy sign-in” sheet by the entrance and get to work.

Fire - out the door to the RIGHT, STAY TOGETHER listen for attendance

Tornado- in the hallway with back against the wall.

Lock down- silent, sitting on the floor in the corner out of sight from windows.

I’m done! Now what? First thing, I would be very aware of how much time is given to a project. If you are done before everyone else around you, you may need to put in more time. Check your project with Ms. V see if I have any suggestions. Finish any Art related projects/homework Enrichment Activities: specified by project.

Art time is for art only. If you finish a project early expect to have an alternative project or to draw in your sketchbook for the remainder of the hour. (Homework for other classes is for home or studyhall)

Room C117 Expectations Be respectful. Be creative. Be prepared. Be on task. Be clean. Be in your assigned seat Be dismissed by Ms. VW, not the bell.

BYOD “Bring Your Own Device • We are a “Bring Your Own Device” campus. This means a student with a smart-phone, tablet, and laptop may use their device at teacher or administrator directed times and activities. We will use devices in class for image research, e-magazines, and photography.YOU DON’T NEED TO PURCHASE OR BRING A DEVICE TO SCHOOL. My apology to students who hoped I would be THE teacher who MADE their parents buy them a smart phone. • ***Guidelines: Students will come into class with devices turned off (not silenced) and put away (out of sight). They will be used only for academic purposes when instructed during my designated 50 minute art class period. In case of emergency parents may contact the front office for communication or choose to use non-academic time.
