Class Policy
Mrs.
Peggy Goreham
Attendance:
TARDIES:
Tardies should not occur on a regular basis; however if the student is
late, the tardy will be recorded and one demerit given.
ABSENCES:
First of all, a student who is not in class is absent.
An absence will be recorded and lab points will not be earned, unless
make-up is completed. In case of a
school related absence, the make-up should be done in advance of the activity.
Paper
Assignments:
PAPER
ASSIGNMENTS: In case of absence, paper assignments must be made up within three days
upon the student's return. This
includes tests, quizzes, reports and Reaction Papers.
Lab
Grade:
LAB
POINTS: Lab
points are earned by responsible participation, which is defined in the
following way. Each studio area has
prescribed work habits and students are expected to work in those limits. Students should maintain respect for each other and the
facility. Proper classroom behavior
insures good participation. Students
must initial the LAB BOOK by the end of the period in order to begin the process
of earning points (the beginning of class preparation).
Two points may be earned daily.
Absence will result in zero points as stated above.
MAKE-UP:
Lost lab points due to any reason (excluding school
suspension and unexcused tardy/absence) may be made up by making
arrangements with Mrs. Goreham. This
may vary according to the class and would require actual time spent working in
the classroom on a project or work for the Art Department.
It is the responsibility of the student to request make-up assignments
upon returning to class. If you know you will be gone, be sure to follow school policy
requesting an absence, and then do the work ahead. In case of school suspension, any credit given the day
or days missed will be done for half credit. School suspension make-up must be done within three days
upon the student's return. Unexcused
tardy/absence will result in a zero for whatever is missed, without
make-up.
LAB
MAKE-UP DEADLINE: The
lab make-up deadline is built into the make-up process in order to encourage
students to do their best quality work in art.
This deadline is usually set toward the end of the grading period and is
used for labs only!
Project
Grade:
ALL
PROJECTS WILL HAVE HARD DEADLINES; meaning, projects will be due when requested or
they will be “NHI”=Not Handed In=zero.
Coming in to catch up or taking the project home for additional time is
expected, if necessary.
PROJECT
DEADLINE EXTENSION (PDX): is provided to the student that may need extra time to complete a
project due to some mishap. Application
may be made by filling out a PDX form and then must approved by Mrs. Goreham.
The conditions of the PDX will be stated and followed in order to
complete the project in the prescribed time.
ONLY ONE PDX WILL BE GIVEN DURING A GRADING PERIOD (9 wks.)
DISHONEST
AND INAPPROPRIATE WORK
Dishonest
work includes
cheating defined as giving assistance to, or using someone else's ideas, talent,
or knowledge. Anyone involved in
such activity will receive zero credit on the assignment involved and may result
in additional correction as necessary. Some
forms of cheating may involve copyright laws and this then becomes a serious
matter.
Inappropriate
work is defined as
unacceptable in the Church, community or classroom and may, at times involve
legal issues. Inappropriate work
will receive zero credit and opportunity may or may not be given by Mrs. Goreham
to do the assignment again; additional correction may result as necessary.
The school chaplain, counselor and the student's parents will be notified
as a result of any violation.
GRADING CRITERIA: All
assignments will receive a designated number of points and will be averaged by
the number of points possible. Percentage/grade
for the grading period will use the standard scale at BCCHS (note in Student
Agenda). Projects will be graded
along the following criteria and must be accompanied by a Project Grade Slip
when due:
CRAFTSMANSHIP:
Mastery of a technique and skill in construction as well as
the over-all presentation of the project.
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS:
Working
within the prescribed guideline of the given
assignment; without change, unless permitted by Mrs. Goreham
DESIGN/COMPOSITION: The
idea or concept that is presented in the project and the eye movement
(visual harmony) that unifies objects within a project.
ORIGINALITY: One's creativity or original idea.
Note Dishonest and Inappropriate
section above.

Class Safety Precautions
Mrs.
Peggy Goreham
2007-08
THERE WILL BE NO BOOK BAGS, JACKETS, PURSES, FOOD, GUM,
CANDY OR
WATER CONTAINERS IN THE ART ROOM!
Book
Bags and
jackets need to be secured in your locker.
It is a safety issue because of tripping and security issues.
Students are mobile, and there is no room for them.
Purses should be secured
in your locker so money and personal items are not stolen.
Food
(gum/candy) is a
health hazard around art materials and should never be eaten while working in
art environments.
Water
may be accessed with a hall pass to either end of 500 hallway.
CLOTHING
*Clothing
will not be an excuse for not working in the art media (clay, paint, charcoal,
etc.). Aprons or smocks (old
shirts) may be worn to protect your clothing.
Some will be provided; however you may want to bring your own.
*Keep
apron strings tied and loose clothing tucked up, so it can not get caught in
some of our equipment.
SHOES
*High
heeled shoes and sandals will not be allowed on the throwing wheels (Ceramics). Whatever your choice of shoe, you are expected to keep them
on during class.
*Many
hazardous materials, such as dust, glaze shards and steel wool wind up on the
floor and can damage bare (sock covered) feet.
*Be
watchful for water spills, because when combined with clay dust on the floor,
the floor becomes very slick. Mop
up any water you find to help keep the area safe for everyone.
*Crepe-soled or tennis shoes are best and you may want to bring them to
class to wear. Storage for shoes
will not be provided.
JEWELRY
AND HAIR (and Boy's Neckties)
*Jewelry
should not be worn in the work area, as art materials can be damaging and if
jewelry is left on the table, it is sometimes stolen or lost in clean-up.
*Long
necklaces and large bracelets will be banned from class, as they are extremely
hazardous around some of our equipment.
*For the
same reason, extremely long hair and neckties must be tied back or tucked into
your shirt, as they may get caught in throwing wheels, grinder, fan and the
pugmill.
PUG
MILL
The pug
mill is a machine use in Ceramics and is for mixing clay bodies.
This
machine can cause severe damage if improperly used.
Be
sure you have proper instruction from Mrs. Goreham on its use, BEFORE you
operate it.
The
best approach to art class is that if you have not been instructed on how to use
something–don’t touch it! It
might harm you or your buddy!
Violations of these rules will result in a loss of
lab points!
