However, iPods are allowed only after I am done talking/lecturing/demoing.

  6. Ms. Wachsmuth’s expectations… • Respect the classroom, others, and the teacher. • Clean up after yourself. Leave the room cleaner than when you found it! • Listen • Be prepared to makeART. • Create the art You want to create – bepassionate about it. • Be responsible for your work and yourself!

  7. Procedure of the Art Room… • Find your seat before the bell rings – prepared with needed materials & supplies. • If you are not in the classroom when the bell rings you are tardy – 3 tardy incidences results in lowering your grade. • Check the board for any instructions or activities. • Get straight to work and stay focused and motivated on art the whole class period. A sketch book will be an option for students who finish projects early – or clean before bell rings!

  8. Procedures continued… Materials • Respect our materials! • Put everything back where it belongs after using it. • If you don’t know where something is – ask! • No one leaves the art room until materials are returned to their proper places and the room is cleaned up.

  9. Procedures continued… Passes • Passes to leave the room must be approved and signed by me. However, these passes are only allowed 2 times per quarter. • Use them wisely – meaning for a bathroom break, to retrieve forgotten materials, trip to locker, etc. • Get there – get back. In 4 minutes. • Leaving the room without a pass is unacceptable and will result in consequences determined by me.

  10. Procedures continued No No No Yes Yes Yes • Art! • Creativity • Innovative minds • Freedom of expression • Positive attitudes • No phones • No misuse or stealing materials • No damaging artwork or art room space • No inappropriate language • No inappropriate references in artwork meaning no- drugs, alcohol, sex, weapons (unless approved by me for hunting purposes)

  11. Procedures continued… Final project due dates • Final projects are due at the beginning of class on due dates – otherwise it is late. • If you are absent on due date, you are expected to turn in assigned project when you return. • I do not accept unfinished work! Project “parts” due dates • Some projects may have several “parts” due before the final project due date. • “Parts” due dates are incorporated into your final project grade. • You are allowed 2 free late excuses for these “parts” only. However, you are expected to still complete all parts.

  12. Procedures continued… Late work • Each day your project is late, your grade is lowered 10% (ex: 90% to 80%). This includes the due date! • You have up to one week to turn in your late work. • After one week, it is turned into a Zero.

  13. Grading scale • A = 100 – 90% • B = 89 – 80% • C = 79 – 70% • D = 69 – 60% • F = 59% and under

  14. Every project is based off 100 points (percent) • Rememberpoints will be taken off for late work, tardiness, etc. Grading • Effort • Creativity and originality • Craftsmanship • Attitude and participation Every project will include these factors…

  15. Let’s get started!! • I’m so excited to share art with you! • Keep an open, creative mind! • Don’t forget that you are unique and you can accomplish so much!
