MR. PATTON
I'm going to take a moment to stand on the shoulders of giants to help summarize the experience I hope you have in my art class.
Anything you try and you don't succeed, if you learn from it, it's not a failure.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

WHAT TO BRING
Sketchbook... used is great and shows you've already been practicing!
Pencil... and eraser because even the greatest artists make mistakes!
Willingness to learn something new... leave your doubt at the door!
HOW DO I GRADE?
To put it simply... don't worry about it!
Come to class and give me your best effort and you should do really well in my art class!
We usually don't sign up for classes that we already have mastered :) Some may already have skills that are better than yours but it's unfair for me to grade you the same! I try my best to grade based on your individual growth from Day One!
So... join me on this new adventure in learning how to be more confident and creative! Don't start this class already doubting yourself! It's my job to teach you to grow as an artist and individual.
