Foundational Philosophical Belief:
"Every Child is born an artist. The problem is how to remain one once one grows up" - Picasso
This course emphasizes the Elements & the Principles of Art and design, state standards and vocabulary. Students are provided a strong foundation in design, drawing, and vocabulary in a student-centered, teacher-structured environment. 21st-century thinking skills like problem-solving and decision-making are emphasized throughout this class.
Required Materials:
-# 2 Pencil, Pen
-Composition Book/ Notebook
Additional Bonus Materials: (Luxury - Serious Student)
- Ruler​
- Black in gel pen
- Colored Pencils/ Markers (Watercolor- No Sharpies without permission slip)
- Brushes and watercolors
- Sketchbook instead of Composition/ notebook​
- Binder and Pencil Bag
Student Goals:
- Give 100% on every project, even if you do not care for it (Work/ purpose/ Challenge?)
- Strengthen , creative, independent, as well as interdependent thinking skills
- Habits of mind
- CA State Standards All standards with a focus on Art standards
Rules:
-Be Respectful
-Be on time
-Clean up after yourself
-Do not waste
-Follow TCAP and School Rules
Cell Phone Use:
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. Cell phones should not be seen (ie) kept in bookbag with headphones extended out when listening to music. I see it I keep it
<!> 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 !!!
If devices become a distraction or a disruption to learning they will be taken after one warning or no warning (See <!> above) .
Penalty Procedures:
-
Warning
-
Conference/ Call Home
-
Referral
Certain offenses like defiance, endangering/ threatening others, and or being disruptive can go straight to administration
I prefer settling problems with students like adults rather than taking issues to outside arbitrators like parents or administration
Grading:
Students will receive a grade on every project and sketchbook assignment. Each project will be evaluated in the following areas:
Following Directions, Growth/ Progress, Creativity, Craftsmanship, Effort, And Work Habits.
Students will be required to complete a written self-critique to be turned in with each completed project.
- Grades will be based on Rubrics- More to come
- Failure to do a project = 0
- Missing, Lost, or “stolen” project = 0
- Projects account for 70 % of student’s grade
Sketchbooks/ Notebooks:
- A “First Fifteen” sketchbook assignment will be given every day during the first fifteen minutes of class. Students will be expected to work on assignment independently. Sketchbooks will be graded at the end of every week and a single grade for the entire week will be given. Any missed sketchbooks must be made up . Sketchbooks account for 20 % of student’s grade.
- Final art exam comes directly from sketchbook assignments.
- First Fifteen assignments are done in your sketchbook.
- Sketchbooks are graded every Friday and ongoing.
- Daily sketchbook assignments are worth 20 pts. ( 5 days a week=100)
