Supplies:
All art pieces produced by the student are his property:
therefore, the students are required to purchase various
material or supplies necessary to produce them. This will
require various purchases throughout the year. (cloth, wire,
etc.) Additionally, A basic art supply fee of $7.00 is
required at the beginning of each semester which will cover
the costs of basic supplies including drawing paper, ebony
pencils, pastels, oil pastels, watercolors, ruler, and
colored pencils.
Grading:
Written tests will be used for periodic assessment of art
stressing critical thinking skills. Written tests cannot be
made-up without an excused absence. Project Grades are
divided into 6 categories as follows:
Participation: Participation is 20% of your grade on each
project, it is necessary for you to have your supplies at
your working area before the tardy bell and to be working on
that project for the entire classroom time. During lectures,
students should not talk while being instructed - this means
intercom, and other speakers. If you are tardy, absent, or
providing off task participation you will receive 5points
less on each infraction.
Cleanup: Cleanup is 10% of your grade on each project.
Appropriate time will be allowed at the end of each class
period for cleanup. Students are to cleanup any marks,
messes, or spills on and around their desks. Projects and
Supplies should be placed in the provided cabinets in a
orderly appearance. Sinks should be wiped and cleaned if
necessary. All soda cans and trash should be placed in waste
basket
Design/Composition: Design and Composition will be worth 20%
of your grade on each project. (how well the elements and
principles of art are used). size and placement of subject
matter will be stressed.
Originality/Copied work: Originality of work will be stressed
and will be worth 20% of your grade on each project. Where
projects require the student to reproduce or copy what they
see, accuracy of this process is alternately stressed.
Application of Media/Techniques Used: Application and
Techniques used will be worth 20% of your grade on each
project. Student must meet technique objective of each
project, i.e., gesture drawing, contour drawing, crosshatch,
value control, etc.,
Finished Projection Time: Due dates will be strictly enforced
and will be worth 10% of your grade on each project. Late
work will be accepted with up to 10 points as a penalty
providing the work is no more than one week late. Projects
past one week late will receive a zero (0) unless an
alternate due date has been approved prior to original due
date.
Duties:
Artroom duties are required by each student during different
times during the semester. Duties can be daily, weekly, or as
a need arrives. Some examples of duties include: Door
Greeter, Supply Distribution, Windex Desks (weekly), Collect
or Pass papers, etc. Duties provide positive self-esteem and
citizenship. A class party/movie day will be given at the end
of each 9 week period for positive participation in a duty.
Classroom Rules:
As a student in the art department, I will abide by the
following rules.
You should be seated at the tables and ready for class when
the bell rings. Do not get up off of your seat without
permission.

paper cutters, paint, glue, and chemicals.

this room. Put tools/materials in their proper places. Dont

Mr. Williams

closets without prior approval.
Do not adjust thermostat, lights, windows, window shades,
or locks on doors or windows in the artroom.

approval.
Behavior:
Life Principles will be stressed in the artroom. Each student
should become familiar with and strive to demonstrate life
principles while in the artroom. (See Attached)
As mature young people, manners are very much a part of your
life. I expect you to act like the ladies and gentlemen that
you are. Remember to treat others as you would like to be
treated. Kindness cost so very little and means so very much.
Students should read their school handbook, be familiar with
its contents, and know the rules of Poteau High School.
