I am excited guide you through your journey of exploration and education into the visual arts. I anticipate a quarter which will be both productive and fun. Enclosed are brief descriptions of the topics of study for the course, grading standards and classroom behavior expectations. Art is a wonderful expression of the human spirit. I encourage each student to strive for quality work, regardless of ability level, within your artistic expressions.
Artistic expression involves taking risks.
As a result, negativity will not be tolerated , either from the artist or from the other students within the class. Students will be given a daily grade for being on task and completing assigned projects on time. Each project will be given a point value. Students will also be asked to write in journals assessing their efforts and insights into each topic of study, along with other possible writing assignments, which will be a part of the overall final grade.
