I think it would be nice to work in a school that has the necessary tools and space. || Why have you chosen this course? || I have chosen this course because I would like to get students acquainted with artists, art, art terms, and relevant social issues to ensure that they will know the introduction pieces to their future art courses. Personally I would love to teach an advanced painting class but I would like to teach an introduction class first, to make sure my students and I are prepared for later classes. || 4  || Elements to be included:

My name is Brittany Hauser and I am very excited to be your instructor in this course! I Graduated from Minnesota State University Mankato with a Bachelor of Science in Art Education. Together we will explore ways of drawing, painting, and printmaking to give you a general knowledge base in art. ** COURSE DESCRIPTION ** The goal of this course is to give students a chance to explore many different areas of art. During this course students will learn and use the elements of art and principles of design to create meaningful artwork. We will also look at contemporary artists, social issues and the art inspired by them. Students will learn different types of art; including drawing, painting and printmaking and many artists who have worked with the mediums. Throughout the quarter students will critique and learn about many famous artists and styles of art to help them improve upon their own art and help them better critique the work of others. ** COURSE GOALS: ** During the quarter you should expect the following:  · Improvement in your ability.  · The capability to judge/critique what makes “good” artwork. Either for your own work or others’ work.  · Competencies in a variety of art mediums/materials, which will enable your artwork to take many forms and have important meaning.  · An understanding of how the history of art has evolved into its’ present form and is a driving force in society **. **  ** GRADES: ** A list of expectations will be available for each project. Assignments must be turned in by the due date for full credit. **Late assignments will lose ONE letter grade for each day late**. Really late assignments can only be turned in for a maximum of half-credit. It is up to the student (YOU!) to choose what effort to put forward to earn the grade you desire. I am available before and after school most days to arrange for extra help. Grades will be based on the following components: ** UNIT ASSIGNMENTS ** - There will be one unit assignment for each unit: Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking, so three, all together. A unit assignment is the large final assignment of every unit. ** PROJECTS- ** There will be 1-2 projects for every unit. Projects are smaller than unit assignments and are used to introduce a new technique. ** CRITIQUES- ** Students will participate in both written and verbal critiques throughout the quarter. ** QUIZZES, TESTS- ** Students will be tested mostly on information directly from class. Try not to miss class. ** MATERIALS: ** Must bring to class every day!  · Sketchbook for class notes/ planning sketches  · Folder for handouts  · Pencil (preferably not mechanical)  · There is no textbook for this class, however, many projects will incorporate the use of handouts, magazines, books, and the internet will also be used for research and brainstorming of ideas.  · Other materials will be provided in class. ** Fees:  ** A studio fee is to buy supplies you will use in the room including paint, paper, and print making supplies. The fee is $25 per student. If you cannot pay this fee please see me and we will arrange something for you. ** CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS/CONSEQUENCES: **  1. Tardiness is not accepted because it is very disruptive to the class and you may miss important information I give at the beginning of class.  · Three tardies will count as an absence.  · The attendance policy at PLHS will be followed and students will be expected to come to class and participate every day. <span style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo4; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -.25in;"> · ** Arriving late by 10 minutes or more is considered an absence. ** <span style="margin-left: 24.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -24.0pt;"> 2. Follow directions or requests of the teacher. Insubordination will not be tolerated and will result in a discipline referral. <span style="margin-left: 24.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -24.0pt;"> 3. Bring your materials daily: Sketchbook, Pen/Pencil, and Folder. If you don’t have materials you will fall behind and miss out on important information. Also sketchbooks are a nice way to write down ideas for later works and to consolidate your ideas. <span style="margin-left: 24.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -24.0pt;"> 4. Students will be given no extra class time to complete work when class is missed, the time must be made up at another time in the day. (I am usually in the room before and after school so if you need to work in the classroom just let me know.) <span style="margin-left: 24.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -24.0pt;"> 5. Be respectful of other students and their property. <span style="margin-left: 24.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: -24.0pt;"> 6. Keep the art room clean, pick up after yourself and put away supplies. The art room must be clean before each class leaves or students will stay until the room is cleaned to my satisfaction. There are many others using the art room and to leave it a mess for them is just not acceptable. ** GRADING SCALE: ** A+ 100/Above B+ 89-87 C+ 79-77 D+ 69-67 F below 60 A 99-93 B 86-83 C 76-73 D 66-63 A- 92 -90 B- 82-80 C- 72-70 D- 62-60 <span style="margin-left: 48.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"> <span style="margin-left: 48.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
