Materials
Materials to bring to each class: #1
Sketchbook
Where do paper towels go?
BLACK trash can - NOT recycling!
Focus and Respect: Classmates
During class discussion, we raise our hands to speak. No calling out, no interrupting others when it’s their turn to speak.
You are responsible for caring for your own work.
Unintentional rip or smudges will affect your grade.
What should I do if I'm stuck on a project and need help?
Raise your hand! Do NOT call out 'Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!'
If you can, work on another area in the meantime until I come over.
Materials to bring to each class: #2
Pencil + Eraser
How should clean up be?
Clean up should be efficient and silent!
Clean up should NOT be chaotic!
Look around your feet: Is there anything you can pick up and throw away?
We're playing Jeopardy in class and I shout out because I'm excited! What happens?
You will receive a warning!
We will project our voices while speaking, but it is never appropriate to shout or scream.
My friend from across the table needs an eraser. Can I throw it over to them?
NO! Throwing is absolutely not tolerated in the classroom.
Raise your hand and ask to me if you can hand them an eraser.
I finished my work as quick as possible. What should I do?
Look over your work and practice being critical. Is there anything you can improve on?
Did you give it your best effort? Effort is the one of the most important criteria for grading.
If you finish early, you can always work on art homework or I will give you an early finisher.
Materials to bring to each class: #3
Art Folder
How many people can be at the sink at a time?
There should only be 1 person at each sink.
Focus and Respect: Teacher
No side conversations while the teacher is speaking.
No doodling during: 1) class discussions 2) unit presentations 3) instructions.
Can I help my friend by doing part of their drawing?
No, you must only work on your paper unless it is a group project.
How long should I spend on my art homework?
I'm an excellent judge of how long you spend on your HW! Don't cheat yourself.
Can I take some art materials from the classroom?
You must ask me if you can borrow materials!
How long should I spend washing my hands?
Getting Up
You must ask for permission to wash your hands, sharpen your pencil, or get a paper towel.
What are two things I should strive for on my art homework?
1. Fill the page! No tiny drawings. Draw large!
2. 99% of homework assignments will require shading. Pay attention to values (light/dark).
Bonus: if you are drawing from life or from a photo, check your proportions for accuracy.
Focus and Respect: Presentations
During presentations all eyes should be on the board.
No doodling on the table, looking down, or fidgeting with pencils.
