·  Please observe all due dates. Unexcused late work will not be accepted without instructor consent and may result in the reduction of points. Students are allowed one day to make up work for each day of school missed due to an excused absence. If a student makes a decision not to do an assignment they can’t turn it in later for points.

Labeling

Each ceramic project must be labeled on the bottom with the student’s full name and hour. This is your responsibility! The teacher is not responsible for lost, stolen, misplaced or mislabeled work.

Written Assignments

·  There will be bellwork at the beginning of each class period. You will be expected to complete it and keep it in your art folder. Each bellwork assignment is worth 5 points and they will be graded every two weeks. If you miss any class period you are require to copy down the missing bellwork from the Bellwork Folder. Bellwork that is not complete will receive a partial credit.

·  Each student will be responsible for completing 5 Art Reviews during the course of the semester. Art Reviews help students to develop an appreciation for artists, artistic styles, and works of art. By looking at and responding to a variety of art forms, students will incorporate the ideas and techniques of other artists into their own work. Students will have time to complete each art review in class and this will take place at the end of each month. If the art review is not turned in by the next day after it is assigned, unless prior consent is given by the teacher. It will only be taken for half credit for one week after it was assigned. If the art review is more than one week late it will result in a zero.

·  Occasionally students will take notes on topics related to ceramics. Both lecture notes and vocabulary words will be kept in the art folder.

·  All projects will require the students to fill out a strategy sheet. This will help students plan and prepare for the upcoming project. Each “strategy sheet” is worth 10 points. Strategy sheets are must be turned in before the project is completed to receive credit.
