COURSE OUTLINE:
COURSES
Art 8 is an introductory course that focuses on discovering the magic found in mixing the paints of the colour wheel, creating fun hand built clay projects, general design and drawing skills. Participation in Art 8 gives the student “a taste” of some of the basic skills of art and design, which will help students enjoy making and/or appreciating art in the future.
This STUDIO ART course relies heavy on scope and sequence; therefore all assignments MUST be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to make up work missed due to absence. Students will be expected to attend REGULARLY. There will be NO due date extensions on projects if students DO NOT maintain regular attendance (unless excused). Students should anticipate spending additional time outside of classroom sessions to complete the work assigned.

ART CLASS CELLPHONE POLICY
You can ONLY use your cellphones for research, work documentation and assessment during Studio Time! Student who break the rules will be warned first. If warnings do not work, and email home and phone privileges will be lost. If it continues administration will be contacted. We have a class set of iPads available for students to use for research and FreshGrade. Do’s: You can listen to music (commit to a playlist/NO surfing for songs), take pictures of your artwork, and look up image resources for project ideas you are working on. Don’ts: Play games, call, text or message, use social media, and take selfies or pictures of other students in the class.
ART SUPPLY STORE
MUST BRING ART SUPPLIES (items with an asterisk*) to EVERY class… NO EXCEPTIONS!!
*Pencils (HB, 2B (or 3B) and 5B), *eraser, *sketchbook, *fine tip black felt pen (fine tip sharpie is a good option for beginners. A Fine Tip Micron is recommended for more advanced students), and *pencil crayons (Crayola pencil crayons are a good option for beginners. Prisma pencil crayons are recommend for more advanced students).
Sketchbooks are 30% of the student’s grade. Under regular circumstances, we recommended to get a coil bound sketchbook with over 100-150 pages (8.5x11). Due to the shortness of the course, students could also purchase a smaller sketchbook (50+ white pages 8.5X11). Students will work on their sketchbooks on a daily basis. Students can also use sketchbooks from a previous art class.
Students health and safety is our primary concern! We encouraged students to bring their own supplies to their tutorial, such as a ruler, scissors, glue, felts, etc. We have some of these supplies in the classroom, but families need to be aware that multiple students will have access to them and materials won't sanitized. Students are responsible to sanitize any shared supplies. The program will supply students with project paper, acrylic paint and specialty materials (clay, clay tools, inks, etc.). We will also have brushes that will be shared with their class. If students don’t want to share brushes, they are welcome to bring their own.
