STUDIO GUIDELINES:  For the purpose of making the classroom environment and studio time beneficial to ALL students by limiting behavior which distracts from students ability to concentrate on their work, please employ the following guidelines:

no eating in class (use break time)

- no beepers, cell phones-NO TEXT MESSAGING! IPODS etc. are OK while painting as long as lecture or critique is not taking place

- use studio time for assigned work (not math assignments, writing letters, etc

- general conversation(outside of lecture) and student interaction is encouraged, but try and not disturb the class as a whole, if so, you will be asked to leave the class room by the instructor.

-

BREAK:  There will be a 15 minute break at mid-class each day

Ill. GRADING

Grading is based on both in‑class paintings and watercolor homework assignments.

Generally, persons who extend a reasonable effort and MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS (assignments, attendance, etc.) will attain at lease a "C" level, although there are, of course, no guarantees. A "C" level grade from this course on your transcripts or resumes signifies that you are COMPETENT in your painting abilities regarding the above stated outcomes.

"B" level will require an above average; reasonably complete mastery of the painting outcomes..

An "A" level will additionally require outstanding skill development, illustrated by exceptional paintings completed in both the homework and in‑class assignments.

YOUR WORK WILL BE EVALUATED IN REGARDS TO YOUR PROFICIENCY IN THE MASTERY OF COURSE OUTCOMES SUCCESSFULLY IN YOUR PAINTINGS AND HOMEWORK.

MATERIALS:  A materials list is given to you on the first day of the class.  You are required to have these materials available to you DURING CLASS.  Lockers are provided for this purpose.  DO NOT COUNT ON PURCHASING MATERIALS DURING THE CLASS STUDIO - PURCHASE IN ADVANCE.

In addition to monitoring your project grades, I also maintain a studio evaluation in order to be able to respond to questions regarding your class participation. I record the following:

0 = absent

L late counts as one half absence ( students need to alert me if they have missed

role

LE = left early (counts as one half absence)

NP = not prepared

NW = not working

LOCKERS

Lockers are available in Building C hallways, and are allotted, one to each three students. You claim a locker, simply by writing your and your locker mates' names on the tag in the door.
