COURSE: Fashion

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Exercise your creativity and express yourself visually! Fashion fuses music, lifestyle, fantasy, and reality. You’ll create the ultimate fashion journal of ideas and inspirations that reflect your ethnic background and personal aesthetic choices, as well as exploring other cultures. This course provides an opportunity for students to develop two and three-dimensional skills based on the elements and principles of design. Students also learn to identify works of famous past and present designers. Other concepts covered include fashion history, fashion illustration, textile design, hand sewing, shoe design, and learning about the thousands of careers in this industry. Students can take a fieldtrip and attend the annual fashion show at one of the San Francisco art colleges. No previous art skills or design background necessary.

LAB DONATION:

Students are requested to pay a $20.00 donation for the cost of supplies used in the class. This provides the quality and quantity of materials needed for students to produce a successful piece of artwork. If this fee is not in your budget, please come and see me.

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES:

·  Come in and sit down in your assigned seat. If your behavior becomes a problem, I will move you. Students do not switch tables by themselves.

·  Listen for any announcements that I may have.

·  Complete Warm up activity (first 5 minutes of class)

·  Work on projects the entire class time.

·  Listen for the alarm and then put all materials away and clean up your table.

·  At the end of class, all tools/materials will be put away before anyone leaves the room.

·  Dismissal: At the end of the period, students will remain seated until dismissed by Mrs. Lo. I excuse the class, not the bell.

BATHROOM PASS:

Students will ask to use the pass after the first 10 minutes of class, and return immediately (within 5 minutes). If the student does not return immediately, they will be given a classroom detention and lose participation points. Students are allowed to use the hall/bathroom pass only once per week. If students use the pass more than once a week, participation points will be lost.

GRADING:

Points are given for all assignments, as well as participation. All students are graded equally as to completion; however, each student is graded as to his/her capabilities. Each time you do not turn in a project, you receive 0 points. The only way to fail is to not do anything!

Grading Scale: Breakdown of Grade:

A = 90 – 100% Participation – 20%

B = 80 – 89% Class work/Projects – 80%

C = 70 – 79%

D = 60-69%

F = 0 – 59%

ATTENDANCE:

Students are required to attend class regularly. This is an activity class that requires the use of equipment and materials kept in the classroom.

MAKING UP WORK:

It is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of making up missing work. Please see me to arrange a time during lunch or after school to complete work missed by an excused absence. If you need to borrow materials to work on projects at home just ask - this is always available if you fall behind.

Due dates are announced after the project has begun. After the announced due date students will have 2 days to turn assignments in. After the 2-day grace period, projects lose points everyday.

TARDIES:

A tardy is given anytime a student is not inside the door by the bell. If you are tardy, please do not interrupt me and wait to talk to me when I am finished.

**The result of every tardy is the loss of participation points. This adds up so be on time!

**Excessive tardiness results in a classroom detention.
