Welcome to Art History! I am excited to teach you this year. My name is Amanda Campos and I am at your service. Before we start please look over this disclosure. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I will respond to you as soon as possible!
OBJECTIVE
This course provides students with a survey of art throughout the history of man. It introduces art principles and instructs students to look at art within the context of which it was made- its history! Exploration of cultures, architecture, sculptures, paintings are key factors in understanding the importance of art. Art history provides essential information to our daily lives. This course will begin with the medieval period and will conclude in modern times.
ESSENTIAL STANDARDS
Our core objectives in this course, aligned with the Utah State Standards for Secondary Visual Arts - Level 1, are as follows:
Analyze, select, and curate artifacts and/or artworks for presentation and preservation.
Interpret artworks or collections of works using relevant and sufficient evidence found in the pieces and their various contexts.
Describe how understanding culture, traditions, and history can influence personal responses to art.
All course activities will be designed to support these objectives.
ATTENDANCE
It is important that students keep track of their learning by signing into their online platform regularly. To participate in activities, simulations, presentations and directions for clarification purposes, you (the student) will sign into Edgenuity. It is the responsibility of you, the parent/guardian to notify school officials of legitimate absences. Absences are not logging into courses regularly. Excused absences are allowed and are defined as: verified illness, medical appointments, bereavement, emergencies, pre-approved educational leave, and special family or religious events. Please email me if you have any problems so that I know that you are ok. Please contact your mentor for any absences. You must log in your courses every seven days to be counted as attending.
MATERIALS
The required materials are items you likely already have at home. If not, they can be purchased at a local art supply store or Wal-Mart. If you have any difficulty finding materials, please don’t hesitate to reach out for suggestions. Note that art materials are not necessary if you choose not to use them. The two projects offering a hands-on option provide a variety of choices for students to explore.

TEACHER COMMUNICATION
Students and parents need to responsibly communicate with their teachers to be successful in an online environment. Email is best for me. My email address is acampos@utahonline.org. My office hours are Monday through Friday from 4pm-8pm. I will not check emails on Saturdays and Sundays. During the week, I will respond within 24 hours. It is expected that students and parents respond to teachers within 24 hours of contact.
BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES
Making school a safe place is a top priority at our school, even online. All students will be required to adhere to the Washington County School District Acceptable Use Policy and netiquette procedures.
Please review this online video discussing with your parents about “Netiquette”.
Netiquette http://youtu.be/DwdqQjCfWSc
All students have the following rights and responsibilities:
The right to learn and the responsibility to avoid interfering with the teaching and learning of others.
The right to positive personal feelings and the responsibility to avoid behavior that will diminish the self-esteem of others.
Students should be prepared, and ready to begin learning in their online classrooms.
Students should follow all directions and should communicate with their teacher immediately for clarification..
The school administration may establish additional rules and guidelines for the benefit of all.
Avoid sweeping generalizations, back up your stated opinions with facts and reliable sources.
Understand that we may disagree and that exposure to other people’s opinions is part of the learning and growing experience.
Keep in mind that everything you write, indeed every click of your mouse is recorded on the network server. On the Internet there are no take backs.
Keep in mind that you are now at the secondary level of your education; a more advanced academic level.
Be aware that typing in all capital letters indicates shouting.
Be careful with humor and sarcasm-especially in emails. Both can easily be misunderstood.
Remember to be professional and kind in your email and I will do the same.
Check your writing for errors by reviewing what you’ve written before submitting. Please make sure you have submitted your name on your email that you go by at Utah Online School.
GRADING POLICY
A = Above Mastery / Substantial
B = Mastery / Proficient
C = Basic Proficiency
I = Incomplete / Learning Standards not Met
Academic grades are based on an accumulation of total weighted points from assessments that are aligned with the standards for that specific class. If a student earns an Incomplete they have the opportunity to meet the standards of that class and earn a grade in the term immediately following the term that the “I” was earned. If the student does not meet the standard during the term immediately following, the “I” grade will be changed to an “NG”. Grading Scale (Letter grades are assigned according to the following scale of percent)
A 93 – 100
A- 90 – 92
B+ 87 – 89
B 83 – 86
B- 80 – 82
C+ 77 – 79
C 73 – 76
C- 70 – 72
I / NG 69 or Less
This class does not have a final exam- but it has a final project, which counts as an exam
RETAKE POLICY
Since this is an online course, you are welcome to retake or redo any assignments you choose. To do so, you must resubmit the assignments before the semester ends and email me with the following: the name of the assignment (not the date, as I do not track dates on my end) and a brief note indicating your intention to redo it. Online learning offers a great opportunity to revisit and improve your work, so I encourage you to take advantage of this option to boost your grade! 😊
