EXPECTATIONS

EXPECTATIONS FOR ART CLASSES WITH MR. PURCELL

MY FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT EXPECTATION IS THAT YOU DO YOUR PERSONAL BEST. THERE ARE NO “WON’TS” OR “CAN’TS”, IF YOU MAKE YOUR BEST EFFORT AND HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE THAT IS ALL I CAN ASK FOR.

YOU WILL NEED TO GET A SKETCHBOOK THAT IS 81/2 X 11 OR LARGER. WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE GIVEN ON MONDAYS AND DUE ON FRIDAYS. THESE COUNT FOR 20% OF YOUR GRADE. (for classes that are A1/A2 or B1/B2 assignments will be given and due the weeks that the class meets M/W/F)
RESPECT
For class environment- Students are expected to arrive on time. Please be seated and ready for class to begin after the bell. The three strike policy is in effect. At your third tardiness without a valid pass, detentions begin. Talking about class-appropriate topics at your own table is fine unless it is disrupting to you, others or Mr. P. Music will be allowed in class when dialogues are not in progress. Feel free to bring in cd’s that are appropriate for school. Headphones are negotiable but they are a privilege, not a right.

For others- You are expected to extend common courtesy to others. Be helpful and pleasant. Never make fun of another student, or his/her artwork. Please make marks on your artwork only. Keep criticism constructive please.

For materials- Use materials only as directed. Do not use materials that you do not have permission from Mr. P for, some can be dangerous. Let’s not waste materials, they are expensive and often not easily replaced.

For Mr. P- Please ask before removing anything from Mr. P’s desk. Please be attentive when the class is being addressed. One cannot effectively talk and listen simultaneously.

For time- Since we do not have a lot of time and setting up/cleaning up takes time, please use class time wisely. A large part of your grades are dependent on how you use your time. Never leave the room without a pass. Please remain seated until the bell rings, no lining up at the door.
SAFETY
Do not throw anything
Always act with regard for safety
Be aware of evacuation procedures
CLEAN-UP
If you use it, put it away properly. If you spill it, wipe it up.
Clean at least one quarter of the worktable each day
Do not leave a single thing on the table top (including eraser shreds, which you are expected to brush into the trash, not the floor)
Put your chair up at the end of class
Never leave anything in the sink
HAVE FUN
The goal of all my classes is to learn new skills and grow as an individual and an artist. If the above information is adhered to, we will have fun and learn at the same time. -remember, our focus is process before product. You will be graded on your effort, first and foremost.

CLASSWORK=60%
SKETCHBOOK=20%
FINAL PROJECT=20%
