Students must come to class with their art journal, folder, and a pencil each day. They must be on time, work hard, and stay focused. They will lose points on their Participation & Professionalism grade if they do not meet these requirements.
Homework, when assigned, will be assigned at the beginning of the week and due the first lesson of the following week. Students are generally asked to complete a representational or preparatory drawing in their art journals (provided by the MS Office for a $5 fee).
