Course Description: What is Jewelry, Fabrication, Casting And Glass Work all about?
Jewelry, Fabrication, Casting And Glass Work is an art class that builds on the fundamental principles of design with an emphasis on building artwork in 2 and 3-dimensions using metals and glass. Jewelry is an unique artistic expression that is used to adorn ourselves. Glass uses light and color to convey the artist’s vision. Students will investigate current and past artists that work in jewelry and apply glass techniques to create interesting and engaging artwork from every angle. Students will also be challenged to mix materials and building original projects each nine weeks. Class time will be used to work independently on projects, however at times out of class time will be required to complete reading and sketchbook assignments.
· Be Prompt: Excessive tardies will result in Saturday school and a truancy notice .
· Be Prepared: Always have supplies you need for class and any completed homework. pencil and eraser will be needed every day. They can be kept in your locker.
· Be Neat: Put your work and supplies away at the end of each class period and clean up your area and any materials used.
· Be Respectful: Listen and follow instructions carefully, raise your hand for help, or questions. Your classmates may also be helpful. Use appropriate language, do not interrupt, etc. Cell phones must be kept in the classroom container. Phone seen or heard during class will be taken to the office.
· Be Productive: Stay on task during class, complete the daily tasks given to the BEST of your ability. When finished with art assignments, use this time to work on related pieces of your own design.
How will my grade be calculated?
80%………………Art Projects
20%………………Samples, Sketchbook assignments, handouts, pre and post quizzes
How will work be graded?
Students will be graded on the completion of requirements for a project and the amount of effort put into the work, not on artistic ability. Different measures of assessment will be used throughout the nine weeks. Critiques, criteria checklists, self-evaluations, and rubrics will be used to assess projects.
*Design Elements and Principles, use of lab time and Craftsmanship will be graded for every project.
How do I make up missing or incomplete work?
Since most work is done in class, I strongly encourage students to miss as little class as possible. Late or incomplete work may be submitted during the same grade period for full credit. For every excused absence day, you will have one school day to make up work without a reduction in grade. If you do not turn in a project, it will receive an F in the grade period average. Late projects will NOT be accepted after the end of the grading period.
What if I am late to class?
When you arrive late to class, put your pass on the teacher desk, and WITHOUT DISRUPTING CLASS quietly find your seat. After 2 tardies you will receive a detention. 4 or more tardies will result in a referral to the office. Make every effort to be on time.
What if I am not following directions in class?
- verbal warning - parent contact
- seat change/isolation - one on one conference with Teacher
- loss of materials privilege - clean up duty during lunch
- office referral - seconds owed after the bell
What happens when the bell rings?
I will dismiss you from class, not the bell. A clean up bell will signal the beginning of the last 5 minutes of class. Class will be dismissed ONLY when every work area is clean, materials are returned to their proper place and every student is quiet and seated. Works in progress are collected and stored in your classroom locker and tables are swept clean.
The Art Code of Conduct:
-Your art will be original and expressive at all times. Overused symbols such as hearts and peace signs are not examples of original ideas.
-Your art can be inspired by someone, but not copied from them.
