STUDIO EXPECTATIONS: 

 

RESPECT OTHERS, YOURSELF, AND PROPERTY is of highest priorty.  Every registered student has a basic right to learn without being disrupted by others.  Students are expected to be respectful of teachers and other students.  Respect breaks down to " no talking when teacher is talking,  taking care of everyone's property, classroom and themselves, i.e. no making fun of others or projects and so on.

 

BE PREPARED, PRODUCTIVE AND HAPPY:

Students agree to be productive during the entire class period and conduct a positive attitude for trying new ideas/skills.   

 

BE SAFE:

Students practice safety with the materials and the equipment in the art studio at all times.

 

INTERESTING LESSONS:

New class lessons and curriculm are a top priority.  It is important to create lessons and provide learning materials which are stimulating and encourage the students to be the best that they can be.  I investigate new media and ideas through my art studio and share new skills and ideas with my students on a regular basis from session to session.

 

CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

Classroom is uncluttered and clean providing a safe place to work.  Students are expected to clean up the studio before they leave after each class.  This includes putting away supplies, cleaning palettes, water containers, and floor if necessary. Socializtion and cell phones are discouraged.   it is nice for students to be allowed to socialize but they are not as productive as they could be when they focus on their assignments.  Friendships are encouraged but playdates are appropriate.

 

BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

Feedback is an important tool for students, parents and staff.  Occasionally Students progress or issues will be discussed with parents to improve understanding and performance.  Constructive feedback is always welcome and should be discussed in private, outside of the classroom environment.
