Course description

Art one is a class designed to provide students first hand experience in creating three dimensional art works.

Students will have the opportunity to work with a variety of art materials. Emphasis will be placed upon creating two-dimensional art and learning basic processes related to drawing. Students will be presented with a design problem, within each project students will attempt to address the design problem. The majority of assignments will be assigned weekly, however some assignments will take as long as two to three weeks.

Expectations

Within the duration of this course each student is expected to do his or her personal best. Everyone has a different skill level and aptitude, however

Dedication, persistence and a daily work routine usually equals success. I expect each and every student to give their very best effort.

  1. All students will work daily on assignments given to them you will receive ten points daily for time on task, if you refuse to work –then you will lose your daily points( if this becomes a pattern you will fail the class!)
  2. All students will clean up-this means if I ask you to help, you pitch in and help.
  3. You are expected to keep up with your own work-I do not have the time.
  4. When I am teaching or introducing a new lesson there will be no talking at all.
  5. You are welcome to bring an iPod with headphones only, any other electronic devices will not be permitted-this includes cell phones, blackberrys-ect….no head phones means no music!!
  6. You are responsible for maintaining your clothing. This is a messy class, so be advised you need to bring yourself an old shirt or some type of material to cover your clothes- I am not responsible for any damaged articles of clothing or watches, jewelry ect…
  1. Upon entering the room you will get out your assignment and your materials and begin working immediately-no exceptions.

Maturity and a cooperative attitude go a long way with me-please be advised there will be no horse play! We will be using tools that are sharp and potentially dangerous-so be careful. Above all you create the atmosphere within the class. I am here to guide you through the assignments. Have fun, follow the class rules and let’s look forward to a great trimester together!!!!
