In this class (with permission) cell phones are for: photographing artwork, researching reference images, and to listen to music quietly (with earbuds) during independent work time only.

​

<!> In this class cell phones are NOT for: watching movies/shows/videos, texting, taking selfies, snapchats, social networking,
Pokemon Go, or making calls. This is your warning for these offenses. <!> I see it I keep it !!!
