Class Procedures

Supplies: You are not required to bring anything to art class other than a pencil. If you want to bring your own watercolors, colored pencils, etc., I can provide you a safe place to store your materials.

Seating: You will be allowed to sit where you want for the first few days you’re in class. After that, I will create a seating chart, and you will be required to stay in that spot for the duration of the grading period. Seating charts are subject to change at my discretion.

Storing artwork: I have provided an organized place for you to keep your artwork while you work on it. It is your responsibility to keep track of your artwork while working on it. Turn in all work once it’s finished. The number one reason students get poor grades in art class is from not writing their name on their work and then it gets lost and then the student says "oh mr. yax, i can't find my artwork. i never write my name on my work and always leave it laying on the table after class and so it's all your fault for it getting lost because even though you have like, half the school coming into your room on a daily basis, you probably don't like me and threw away my artwork on purpose and life is unfair and oh why aren't you listening to me!!?"

Turning in Work: As soon as an art assignment is done, you should turn it in the mailbox. Make sure you have your name and class period written neatly on the back of your paper.

Lost Work: When I find artwork on the floor, or not in it’s proper place, I do one of two things. Sometimes I just throw it away (especially if there’s no name on it), or I put it in the lost and found box. Again, students are responsible for keeping up with your work.

Hall Passes: No students are allowed to go to the restroom during the first or last 10 minutes of class. One student is allowed out at a time. Hall passes should be for emergencies only.

Clean-up: Time will be given at the end of the period to clean up any mess you make. You will be held back from going to your next class if you leave a mess.
