Ceramics

**__ Spring 2010 Instructor: Katie Mulligan __** **__ Mt. __****__ Edgecumbe High School __** **__ Office Phone: 966-3266 email: katiem@mehs.us __** Your grades will be determined by: 1/3 Assignments 1/3 Participation Points (attendance, discussion, **attitude**, etc.) 1/3 Tests and quizzes The participation points rely on your maturity and behavior in class. I expect that you will be respectful, use only what you need to survive, clean up after yourself, and work to your best ability. If I need to talk to you about your behavior more than once, I will keep you after school amounting to the time you wasted in my class. If I have to talk to you a second time, you will be removed from my class. If I have to talk to you a third time, we will have a conference with your parents and the principal. Critiques: each student will be required to participate in a critique at each quarter mark. This counts not only as an assignment, but also as participation. There will be an exhibit of student artwork at the end of the semester. Everyone will be required to contribute to the show. The exhibit will be held in the library and the atrium of UAS. Clean and wash your area 10-15 min. before class ends so as not to be late for your next class. There will be a class leader assigned to help me know when it’s time to clean up. Make sure the floors around your desk are free from debris. Please wash the sink area when you’re done using it. Don’t leave a mess!!! If you break something, please let me know so it can be fixed. Don’t feel bad; just tell me so we don’t have a studio full of broken stuff. Thank you very much for being aware of the need to keep the art room as clean as possible. Any questions about me?
