Description
Art 2 challenges students to refine their skills in fine arts media and creative problem solving. Problems become increasingly complex and require students to draw upon knowledge of both traditional and contemporary art from diverse perspectives. Works of art that reflect a personal aesthetic and exhibit breadth and quality become the basis for a cumulative portfolio including a sketchbook and visual journal.

Students and Parents or Guardians, please read the statement below: Ms. Manger went over the syllabus, course content, art studio expectations, grading, attendance, and tardy policies. She also covered the Howard High School policy regarding cell phones and other electronic devices. I have seen a copy of Howard High Schools Discipline Ladder and understand the consequences outlined. Ms. Manger answered any questions I had about the syllabus and I understand what is expected of me in Art class.

Class Routine
1 Drill What are we going to do today? (The warm-up gets us started) 2 Instruction/Demo This is when I talk about or show you things you need to know. Pay attention. 3 Studio Time Independent time to make art. 4 Critiques A great way to share and learn from one anothers work. 5 Clean- Up Be responsible for your table space and put things back where you got them. 6 Closure Did we learn what we set out to learn?

Tardy & Attendance Policy

Be in the room and ready to learn when the bell rings. If you are late, you must sign the Tardy clipboard before joining the class. Discipline ladder applies.
**The ONLY excused tardy that I accept must be accompanied by a teachers signature in your agenda book.

* ALL assignments are expected by the specified due date which will be clearly posted for you. *If you are Sick or Out of Class for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed and make it up. That means you must ask a classmate what you missed or initiate a conversation with me. *Late assignments will not be accepted without an excused absence, in which case, you will have the same amount of time you were absent to make up the work (outside of class). *Extensions on a FINAL assignment will be given at my discretion and only to those students who work diligently in class and cannot finish or work meticulouslynot to those who waste studio time. * Do-Over Policy Not happy with the job you did on a FINAL assignment the first time around? You can submit 1 re-do per quarter.
