and VISUAL ARTS CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PLAN
Welcome to art class! This semester, you can expect to write about and create art every day! This class takes place in a full-service art room, where you will have access to many fine art materials (which are to be left in my room at the end of each period, each day, so every student has equal access)!

LATE WORK:
Turning work in on time is part of being responsible and earning a good grade. Late work will receive an immediate 10% off final grade.
MAKE UP WORK:
If you have been absent from class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed. If you missed the first day of a project or demonstration, I will make every effort to get you caught up. You will have time equal to the length of your absence to complete your missed work. If you are absent the day a project is due, you must turn it in the day you return to class.
Please consider donating the following items to the art room:
