Our Digital Art Mindset
ARTificially Intelligent – Academic Integrity
You have the ability to be creative and make your own original artwork!
Using AI to create your assignments or copying the ideas and work of others is not allowed. Your artwork should reflect your own creativity, ideas, and effort.
Assignments
The majority of your assignments will take place during class time, so use your time wisely! There will not be regular homework unless additional research is required.
Presentations
Part of your participation grade comes from presenting your work. After each assignment, students will
have the opportunity to share their work with the class.
Be prepared to talk about your designs, answer questions, and receive constructive feedback that can help you improve.
Materials
It is important that you have a USB flash drive for this class.
If you are concerned about keeping track of your USB drive, you may place it in the designated bucket at the end of the day for safe keeping.
Ask Questions
If you are unsure about something or need direction, ask questions! I am always here to help. Asking for help is an important part of learning.
Late Work
I am always willing to discuss situations that may affect your ability to complete an assignment on time. However, late work will result in a deduction of points.
Emergencies and special circumstances will be addressed individually.
