“Without art the earth would be just eh.”
Attitude – Be positive! Come in prepared and ready to work.

Try- Try your best! Effort Counts!
ART
Information Day vs. Studio Day
Information Days are used to introduce a lesson, review goals, demonstrate a skill, or lead the class in a critique.
During these classes you are not to interrupt the teacher. Raise your hand for content questions.
Take notes in your INB Make sure you understand
what is being taught. Ask Questions
Studio classes are days when you know the goals and have been taught the skill, and you are working independently.
During work on art projects, students work quietly.
Stay on task. Review your GG’s
Art can be fun, and enjoyable, however, inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated!

STUDENT BEHAVIOR
• There are concepts taught in Art that have value to the lives of each such as learning responsibility, exploring one’s own creativity, experiencing and learning something new and trying even when one is not confident in his/her artistic abilities. Therefore, art classes are not for playtime. All students are expected to behave appropriately in class, as they would be expected to behave for any other class.
• Students talking or disrupting class, may be reminded/warned once. Further behavioral infractions will result in the student serving lunch or an after school detention, or other consequences determined by administration.
Grading
You will be graded on in the following areas: 60% - Class work. Anything done in class.
Interactive Note Books, Reports, quizzes, reflections, being prepared for class, Common Tasks, presentations and projects. If you come to class prepared, do the project and have meet all the aspects of the rubric you will receive 60 points towards that project.
20% - Effort and Citizenship. If you show good effort and are behave appropriately, you will receive 20 more points.
20% - Is reserved for students who achieve above the standard. Students who push themselves beyond the standard and show more effort, will receive these extra points.

Secrets to making Miss Ashton Happy!!!
PAY ATTENTION when I give instructions and directions. If you have a bad memory, write down the steps. I don’t like to repeat myself
Information given to you in class is for your benefit, not mine, My job is to teach you. Your job is to learn and follow my lead. Once you understand and master the skill, than you can get creative. Most of the time if steps are done incorrectly or out of order it will result in a negative outcome of YOUR project.
One of the skills you are learning in my class is PROBLEM SOLVING. You are suppose to engage YOUR brain to work out the problem you are presented with. Think for yourself. DO NOT EXPECT me to give you the answer right out. If you have a problem I will coach you through, I will not give you the answer.
• Look on wipe board for updates and goals.• Always sign your art work on the back with name, date and class section.• I dismiss you, not the bell. DON’T LINE UP• Work quietly as to not disturbed others.• Don’t move desks or chairs.• If you miss a class, it is your responsibly to ask about work you have missed.• Always try your best.• Always consider other peoples feelings when discussing artwork.• Always ask appropriate questions.

What do I do Now?
• Chances are some students will be done before others, and that is fine. Those students who have completed the task, and have been approved by the teacher as being “done” may NOT DO NOTHING!!
• If you ever find yourself doing nothing STOP!!• You should always be learning art!• If you are done, sub-it’s and free draws are
always a great way to stay on task, and learn art!
• You are expected to be learning the whole period. If you decided to do nothing, this will reflect on your class grade, even if you have finished the main task.
Substitute Lesson Plan
• Please have students read the art Scholastic Magazine to themselves. • They are to answer the questions in their art notebooks. IT WILL count as TEST
grade. • If students finish early they are to select a folder from the “Sub-it” corner under
the flag to complete quietly in their notebooks. Sub-it’s are folders that allow the students choose how they will be learning about art. They can choose to DrawRead orWriteSelect activity from the Café MenuAll work should be done in their notebooks and will receive a grade.
Please let me know of any student that is misbehaving. You may choose to send them down to irc by calling *124
Or calling down to the main office *000 .
On top of their punishment they will also have to answer to me when I return. EVERY student is expected to be on their BEST behavior. I will not tolerate anything less than that. • Student helper with fire drill/ attendance Substitute Days

Using tasks across classrooms or across a district means that the task needs to meet several criteria. First, the task must measure skills and knowledge that is agreed upon as important. This is accomplished by aligning the tasks to district and state standards (GLE & GSE’s) and expectations.
