Course Description
This class further develops on the concepts learned in the Introduction to 2D course and extends knowledge of artistic technique and historical content. A variety of media will be used, possibly including, but not limited to, graphite, charcoal, ink, colored pencil, printmaking, pastel, mixed media, watercolor paint, and acrylic paint. Students will further their abilities to critically problem-solve, analyze, brainstorm, and reflect on their own artwork and artwork of others.

Grading (Grading will consist of 3 parts)
Due Dates
Projects are due on the given due date. Scores will be adjusted for late work. Due dates may change due to our eLearning environment.
Class Fee
There is a class fee for the art class you are taking. This was stated in the course guide when filling out your schedule and during registration. Payments can be made in the office. The fee is used to purchase all materials given to students and non-consumables used throughout the course. The class fee of $20 per semester will cover some of the supplies needed throughout the year. We will start off the year with the $20, but may not charge for second semester.
eLearning Supplies
Basic supplies will be given to students ahead of time for their projects. Time will be given for supply pick when necessary. The district is still deciding the best process to do this.
Schoology
We will be using Schoology as the platform for me to give you information. You will be given a code to add to the class. Parents/Guardians will be allowed access to see their student’s work as well.
Tardies/Absences
If you are absent for any reason, you are required to make up all work missed. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments and notes you missed. Unexcused absence equals zero points for assignments missed.
References
These are pictures the students draw from. Any projects turned in copied from a copy written source will receive a zero.
Please help provide a method for students to print their references at home or at the store.
They will be given a minimum of a week's notice to do so. Personal photos are highly encouraged. Good websites to find sources will be discussed in class and are found on this website.
Academic Integrity
If a student is suspected of turning in work that is not their own, it will be reviewed by the administration and be scored as a “0” until the issue is investigated.
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are NOT permitted in class. Students may bring water to class but must have a closed lid and placed on the floor. Written/documented medical exceptions will be made.
Late Work
Late work is deemed as any worked turned in after class time on the date the work is due.
Work will not be accepted late if the student was unexcused during any part of the assignment.
Missing midterms or finals will be graded as “0” until the student makes up the exam.
Students who are absent are given two school days to make up work per school policy.
A grace period of one week will be given to turn in any late work resulting in a score of no greater than 80%.
Electronic Devices (When is person)
Cell Phones, Music Devices, and Head Phones must be turned off and put away unless permission is given.
A warning will be given for failing to follow this expectation and Studio Professionalism Points will be taken away. School wide policy may be enforced.
Life happens, if an emergency call needs to be made or taken, please communicate the situation with me before class.
Parents, do not call or text your student during class. This is a distraction and loss of cell phone privileges will occur. Please call the front office to contact your son/daughter while they are in class to help curb any issues. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
I cannot emphasize how much of a distraction cell phones have become in the classroom. They can also be a powerful learning tool. As a rule-of-thumb, cell phones should be turned off and put away unless permission is given.
