Art II
Considerations: The student who is considering taking this
class should know that the teacher would assume the student is going to major
in Art in a higher education institute.
Thus the teacher will be preparing the student for this experience. This is an advanced level course therefor the
student's abilities must be advanced also.
The requisite for this class is:
The student must have passed Art I with a B+ or
better or the art teacher’s permission.
Course Description: The student will be, throughout
the year, developing skills is the Fine Arts area, as well as, skills relating
to the Fine Arts are (such as creative writing). The projects assigned to the student will
challenge the student's mental abilities and creativity. These projects will cover studio art, art
history, aesthetics, and art criticism.
Students will be required to take a weekly vocabulary test of seven or
more words. Students will be required to
create a weekly sketch that will show the student's progress in their developing
drawing skill. The students will also be
required to create bulletin boards covering art history and art styles. There will be at least four projects due
every quarter. Students are required to
journal and choose two words of the day every Friday in art class.
Skills Needed to be
Successful:
The students who take this class should have a good solid work ethic, a desire
to create without destroying, a passion to use new materials in new ways, an
advanced understanding of the elements and principles of art, an advanced
ability of drawing, and the fortitude to finish what has been started.
Expectations: The teacher will expect nothing, but the
best. The student is expected to bring
all required materials to class every day that class is held (Required
materials include: Drawing and Shading pencil, journal, art folder, and
sketchbook). Students are expected to
finish all projects. Any project that is
not finished will result in the student earning a zero on that project. All students are expected to be in the art
room ready to begin working by the time the tardy bell (second bell)
rings.

Behavior Policy: The classroom is a learning
environment and behavior which disrupts the learning process will not be
tolerated. Possible consequences for disruptive behavior may include detention,
notification of parents, conferencing with the principal, conferencing with
parents, principal, and teacher, or other appropriate action. Students should read and be familiar with the
North Nodaway Student Handbook, which sets forth many guidelines for behavior.
Other suggestions that will help keep peace in the classroom:
·
Treat others with courtesy and respect.
·
Treat all projects with respect.
·
Bring materials such as notebook, a writing utensil, art pencils,
folder, and sketchbook to class.
·
No pop, gum, or food is allowed during class time unless permission is
given by the teacher.
·
When the student knows in advance that they are going to be late or
absent it is their responsibility to let the teacher know and get assignments
before the go. If an assignment is due
on the day of a prearranged absence, it should be turned in before the student
leaves school or points will be taken off for the assignment being late.
·
Students should also understand that any project that is not completed will
earn the student a zero for that project.
·
No late sketches will be accepted unless the student is gone on the day
the sketch is due.
