The theme for the 2011-2012 school year is "It's All About You".  All art projects are autobiographical in nature.  We will work with a variety of media and subject matter including marker drawings, clay masks, book forms, and pencil portrait drawings.

Classroom Rules:
1.  Arrive on time with required materials.
2.  Remain seated and work consistently throughout class.
3.  Be respectful.  Do not talk when the teacher or a classmate is speaking to the class.  Be respectful of other’s property.
4.  Remain on task and do not disrupt class.
5.  Clean up daily.

Conduct Policy:
As a consequence for receiving a demerit, students are given a writing assignment.   All writing assignments are to be completed and returned to the teacher the following school day.  A demerit slip will sent home with the intent of making guardians aware of any problems that may be occuring in the classroom.  The demerit slip should be signed by a guardian and returned along with the completed writing assignment.  Persistent behavior problems may result in removal from team time, lunch detention, or referral to administration.

Homework Policy
A portion of each student's grade is based on effort/class participation.  As a general rule, there is no homework given in Art class.  However, if a student misses school,  he/she will be given a makeup assignment for each day missed in order to gain back points that count towards the effort grade as well as the project grade.
