portfolio pieces for the future. Students will also work together as a group to promote understanding of the above
goals and assist each other as a team

Course Overview:
This course is designed to build upon the knowledge gained in 2-D art. 2-D is a prerequisite to this course and if

Personal Headset Rules: 1) Out of sight when you walk in. 2) Pick a playlist and leave it alone. 3) You may not listen to
music during days that you are required to: read, take tests or quizzes, write reports, or during instruction. 4) You will be
allowed to listen to them while you work on art projects. Always ask me first. 5) The music must be played at a volume
which cannot be heard by others. This may be lower than you are accustomed to. If you are unsure, ask first. Please, do
not sing along.
Cell Phone Rules: 1) Cell phones remain out of site, unless used as a tool for a class project or individual permission is
granted. 2) If you are using a cell phone as a headset, pick a playlist and leave the phone alone. Scanning through songs is
just as distracting as texting and will result in loss of privileges. 3) If you need to use the phone as a resource for an art
project, ask first and ask every time.
USE OF PERSONAL HEADSETS AND CELL PHONES IS A PRIVILIDGE NOT A RIGHT.
