In eighth grade art, students express themselves creatively through drawing, graphics, sculpting, painting, and 3D ceramic sculpture to develop art skills and concepts. Composition, technique, the elements and principles of design, and attention-to-detail are explored. Art history, art appreciation, problem-solving, and critical thinking are integrated into lessons.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

• TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: All students are required to attend all classes and be on time.

• KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Be respectful and mindful of your peers and their artwork. As you walk through the room, share space with others, be aware of other people working on their artwork and be careful not to bump into them or damage their work. If an artwork does not belong to you, DO NOT TOUCH it.

• LEAVE IT CLEANER THAN YOU FOUND IT: You are expected to clean up after yourself everyday. Your artwork must be put away on your shelf, borrowed materials returned neatly & are clean, tables cleaned and chairs pushed in as you exit.

• NO-TECHNO: All cell-phones and media devices must be turned off and out of sight during class. If your cell-phone/media device is out or in use, it will be collected from you and may count towards points being deducted from your Studio Practice grade.

• LANGUAGE POLICY: English is the official language at CDS. You are expected to speak English at all times in the Art room.

GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Google Classroom will regularly be used as a resource throughout the year. The majority of homework and project assignments will be posted onto Google Classroom for students to complete. Students should regularly check Google Classroom, since it is the primary method the instructor will use to notify the whole class about any specific announcement.

PLAGIARISM

Cheating and plagiarism are two of the most common and most serious forms of academic dishonesty. Cheating involves the attempt to deceive by feigning mastery of course content or of a skill that a student does not actually have. Plagiarism is the act of passing off another person’s words, expressions, or ideas as one’s own or without proper acknowledgment. When used broadly, the term “plagiarism” extends far beyond written assignments and can be applied to work of all kinds in every discipline. Cheongna Dalton School expects that each individual learns to take responsibility for their own actions, both on and off campus.

Some examples of academic dishonesty and a breach of trust include:

• Turning in someone else’s work as one’s own, or allowing someone else to turn in one’s work as his/her own

• Turning in work that improperly or incompletely acknowledges one’s sources

• Collaborating without authorization on an assignment

• Discussing a test with a student who has not yet taken it

• Turning in work for one course that was produced in another course without the teacher’s permission

• Copying someone else’s work, whether on a test, paper, or homework assignment without the teacher’s permission

• Using unauthorized resources (e.g., crib sheet, note, translator, calculator, etc.) in a test or homework situation

A student who has any question about what constitutes honorable academic behavior must consult with the teacher for clarification.

ATTENDANCE

All students are required to attend all classes and to be on time. Lateness counts as half an absence. After 10 minutes, the tardy will be changed to an absence unless the instructor is notified in advance. If any materials necessary for the class are forgotten or not with students once the bell rings, students will be marked late. Should a student miss class it may only be from one of the following reasonable causes; illness or hospitalization, observance of a religious holiday, family illness or death. Missing class for any reason, other than those categorized as a reasonable cause, may jeopardize students’ academic standing in the class.

** If you are absent, you are responsible for contacting Ms. Kim regarding class content and completing any in-class work and/or homework.

LATE POLICY

In art class there will be “soft”deadlines and “hard” deadlines. Soft deadlines are the dates of the last class period you are allowed to work on the project. Hard deadlines are the dates that your completed work must be finished and turned into Ms. Kim. If you do not turn-in your project on or before the hard deadline you will be deducted a percentage, depending on the significance of the assignment.

MISSING WORK

Every student is responsible for his or her artwork, worksheet, and sketchbook. It is the student’s responsibility to take care of their artwork and materials in and outside of the classroom. If the student loses his or her work, their work will be counted as an automatic 60% from their assignment.
