ABOUT ME: Amelia Cullen This is the beginning of my 19th year of teaching. My husband is also a teacher and coach at Marshall County High School. I have two children: Amelia, who is in 7th grade , and Cullen, who is in 2nd grade. I love the beach, Marvel comics, scary movies, and cats!

SUPPLIES It will be easier if you have your own markers, but that is not required. However, You must bring colored pencils, a notebook with paper and a pencil every time you come to art class. *THE ONLY SUPPLIES THAT I AM REQUIRING ARE A PACK OF BLACK SHARPIES (PERMANENT MARKERS) *$5.00 ART SUPPLY FEE is requested. This fee will pay for clay, paint, printmaking tools, watercolor pencils, etc. I try to supply markers and colored pencils for you, but the markers dry out really fast and the colored pencils are used up quickly.

Responsibilities You will be responsible for completing all classwork (which includes bell work, taking guided notes, working in groups, and continuous work on an ongoing art project). Grades will be earned for classwork, other (participation), projects and quizzes. Quizzes will be very short over artists, concepts or cultures we have learned about. You will see me at least once a week. We will have related arts rotations on Fridays.
