ACADEMIC HONESTY<br />

Students are expected to create authentic, original works of art that reflect their own<br />

abilities and ideas. Working on another person’s project for them constitutes academic<br />

dishonesty. Consequences for academic dishonesty are in line with the school policy, and<br />

may include receiving a zero on the assignment, parent conference, and/or suspension,<br />

depending upon the severity of the infraction.<br />

CLASSROOM RULES:<br />

• BE ON TIME<br />

-Be in the classroom when the bell rings.<br />

• BE PREPARED<br />

- Have your materials and artwork with you in class every day.<br />

- Turn in assignments on time.<br />

• BE RESPECTFUL<br />

- Listen quietly during instruction or when others are speaking.<br />

- Respect others, their ideas, their personal space, and their property.<br />

- Participate in keeping a clean classroom environment.<br />

- Keep comments about other students’ artwork positive and constructive.<br />

• BE PRODUCTIVE<br />

- Work in class every day. Failure to do so will negatively affect your grade.<br />

- Work on art during art class, not on homework for other classes.<br />

- Keep cell phones put away for the duration of the class period.<br />

• BE POSITIVE<br />

- Have a positive attitude, and put forth your best effort each day.<br />

POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES<br />

• Extra credit points assigned to students who go “above and beyond” in artwork (i.e.<br />

experimenting with more challenging media or techniques, putting in extra effort<br />

and time, making multiples of one project, etc.).<br />

• Extra credit points assigned to students who attend an art-related event or place<br />

(museum, gallery opening, etc.) outside of class, and submit a one-page essay<br />

about their experience.<br />

NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES<br />

• First Offense – Verbal reminder<br />

• Second Offense – Moved for the day<br />

• Third Offense – Detention<br />

• Fourth Offense – Call to home<br />

• Fifth Offense – Referral to office<br />

GRADING POLICY<br />

Grades are based on two main categories: minor projects (sketchbooks, homework,<br />

research, technical exercises, quick-writes) and major projects. Small assignments make<br />

up 35% of student grades, while large projects make up 55%. The class final will be<br />

worth 10%. Late work will be accepted, but will be docked 5% per each day late. Grades<br />

will be posted on ABI on an ongoing basis.
