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.
