The participation points rely on your maturity and behavior in class. There are school rules that need to be followed to keep the “ship rolling”. These are posted and you will be written up for not following them. 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 twice, you will be written up.

Critiques: You will be expected to participate in a couple of critiques. These count not only as an assignment, a test, but also as participation.

There will be two exhibits of student artwork at the end of the semester. Everyone will be required to contribute to the show. You will also be required to matt your own art. We will learn how to do this after the first self portrait is complete. The exhibits will be held in the library and/or sub and at UAS.


 * Studio Cleanup **
 * At the beginning of the semester you will be assigned days for daily maintenance of the counter, tables, and wheels throughout the semester. This person will sign off each day when the room is clean. No one will leave until the classroom and sinks are clean. Clean and wash your area 10-15 min. before class ends so as not to be late for your next class. Make sure the floors around your desk are free from debris.
 * When working in ceramics, you must double bag your piece, label it, and put it in the kiln room in the ‘WORK IN PROGRESS’ section unless it’s ready to be fired, in which case put it in the ‘TO BE FIRED’ section. When pieces are finished glaze firing I will put them on the table next to my desk for grading. When throwing on the wheel, there will be a sign up for the wheel and that person is responsible for following the wheel cleaning basics.
 * 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.
 * When you are painting, always put your piece on the drying rack. When it is ready to be graded put it on the wood shelf next to my desk. I will then take it either to the display case or to the library.
 * When drawing, please place your unfinished drawings on the labeled shelves for your class period. When they are completed and matted, please place them on top of the shelves by my desk.
 * Always put your mediums, papers, and all that you are working with back where you found it or on your class’s shelf.

Thank you very much for being aware of the need to keep the art room as clean as possible.
