Random Things:
- You can’t make art if you aren’t in art class. You can’t participate in discussions and critiques if you aren’t in art class.
- Please feel free to drink water at your desks. I’m more than happy to let you eat during class, just ask me first. All food and other beverages must be kept on the table near the door and consumed away from all artwork.
- Don’t use your cell phone for things that have nothing to do with art. There will be times when we will be gathering images, searching instagram, finding inspiration, etc. on our phones. I will very clearly let you know when cell phone use is okay. All other phone use will not be tolerated. Phones should be kept at the top of your desk or in your bag or pocket during class.
- I am 100% okay with you listening to music during class. I only ask that (1) you don’t listen to music while I am demonstrating something or during class discussions/critiques (2) you only wear one earbud at a time and (3) you keep the volume of your music at a reasonable level.
- Backpacks, bags, and other personal items should be kept in the designated area by the door. Please keep at your desk only the items you will need for class.
- At no point should work from other classes be done during art class.
- If you have a question, ask two of your peers before you ask me. Chances are someone will be able to help you out :)
- Cleaning the art room is the responsibility of each individual student. Please make sure your supplies are put away in the proper location, your work area is clean, and your artwork is properly stored before leaving class.
- Do not line up at the door before the bell.
- All handouts for the class will be available electronically. Only a few paper copies will be available in class. If you prefer paper handouts please let me know individually.
- Check the website! Everything you need will be on the website. If it’s not there, let me know and I will make sure to add it.
- Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. I am only here part time, but I try to make myself as available as possible! I will stay after school at least once a week for extra help and art time. This day will be posted on the board each Monday.
