BRACE YOURSELF

CLASS RULES ARE COMING

Be Prepared Everyday!ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY

SHOW UP WITHOUT A PENCIL

NO YOU CAN’T KEEP YOUR BAGS AND BOOKS ON THE

TABLE.

IT’S ART CLASS YOU NEED TO CLEAR YOUR

VISUAL SPACE.

Keep books and bags off

the desk, and out of the

aisle on the floor.

You know I love a good snack, however, you may not eat during class--It hinders your work ethic

-Can potentially ruin an artwork, -Takes away from your work time.

-Makes the room messy and smelly!

DON’T EAT DURING CLASS

Cell phone policy:-You must sign the technology

agreement to use your phone only for artistic purposes. Special projects

ONLY.

-If your phone is out, or being used for a non-art purpose it will be taken

away.

-Your parents will get a phone call home.

-Repeat cell phone offenders will find their phone in the main office at the

end of the day where your parents will have to pick it up.

Please, continue being disrespectful, I’ll get right on that.

Oh, you’d like some attention?Be

attentive and

respectful

Raise your hand when you’d like to share something

IT’S 5 MINUTES UNTIL END OF CLASS

CLEAN UP ALL THE MESS!

Don’t EVER throw away an artwork without Ms. Lewis’s approval!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

YOU ALREADY THREW IT OUT?

The experience

you have

in this

room is dependent

upon your

attitude.

IF MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS CLASS IS

DEPENDENT UPON MY ATTITUDE

THEN IF I HAVE A SUPER AMAZING ATTITUDE, CLASS WILL BE SUPER AMAZING?

Don’t get scared or worried about making art, or what it will look like. You’re beyond that. Confidence is KEY to success in this class.

Unfortunately we don’t have time to practice too much in here, you have to produce work that will have a strong result. You can resubmit work, you can re-

do something, but you have to take control and put in the effort.

Stay calm and work hard at each project! Don’t let yourself get frustrated. There’s more than one solution so find one that works for you!

Give your teacher and classmates your personal best so they may achieve theirs. Motivate each other to do better! This is NOT a contest.

Don’t cheat at art by letting someone do something for you. You’re being tested on your ability to show off your personal style!
