Art 1

Welcome to Art 1!!!

This year will be an exciting year as you begin to explore different areas that are fundamental in order to obtain a basic understanding of the fine arts. As we explore different mediums and techniques this year, you will begin to find not only the ones that you will most enjoy or be skilled at, but also begin to see these projects as problem solving challenges that can be met through your own personal choices and decisions. These challenges will give you opportunities to practice and strengthen your decision making skills and help make your own personal decisions in the future. For those of you interested in continuing art throughout high school, this course will help you discover the art techniques which fit you best.

Materials/ Supplies

Students are required to bring a pencil, eraser and sketchbook to class every day. Students may choose to bring plastic page protectors to protect their artwork. Pencils and erasers are available for borrowing. Borrowing, however, requires collateral, which can include an id, keys, or anything else a student wants returned at the end of class. Occasionally students may be asked to bring something special from home.



Attendance/ Tardies

The rules established by the administration will be followed. If a student is present when a test/project due date is announced, then the student will be expected to take the test/turn in the project as soon as he returns. It is the student's responsibility to secure any make-up work.



Late Work

All projects are due by the due date, no exceptions. Should a grade be at a level the student, parent, and/or instructor is not satisfied with, there is an option to improve or redo work and have it re-graded. The requirements for this are:

  1. Completed work was turned in on time
  2. Work re-submitted must be accompanied by the original grade sheet
  3. Work re-submitted must be completed and turned in before the end of the six week period the project was assigned
