Monday Your teacher may need to move you, but you start out sitting where you want. If the class follows the Expectations well, you will never have assigned seats however the teacher reserves the right to move you. About Ms. Williams. Please call me Ms. Williams. This is my 20th year teaching and my 2nd year at NIHS. I grew up near Chicago, Illinois, in a small town called Plano. If you are familiar with Plano tackle boxes they are made there. I have a BS in Art Education from NC A&T State University. I graduated from there in 1990. I studied drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and graphic arts. In 2011 I got a Masters in Educational Leadership from Gardner Webb University. My hobbies are knitting, crocheting, drawing, painting, listening to music, ceramics, gardening and taking care of my animals. Discussion: Why are you here in graphic design/what do you want to learn? What careers are available in Graphic Design?-Web research. Write down all the careers you can find in Graphic art. What career do you think you would like the best? Why?

What is art? What is creativity? Creative exercises- This is for a grade, so do your best!

Student Info and Expectations contract are due today. Required materials are due Tuesday Sept. 3, 2013 for a grade. Clean up is five minutes before the bell. Turn in all papers (Student Info, Expectations Contract, drawing) to the Turn-In Box

Every student is responsible for a clean, organized art room. After you clean up your stuff, help someone at your table clean up. When your table is clean, help someone else in the room. Check your floor as well as your sink and table for trash and art materials that must get put away. Don't forget: be silent if announcements come on, someone calls on the intercom, or the phone rings. Your teacher would be so disappointed to keep you after the bell for disrespecting folks! After you clean up, sit in your seat. You may talk quietly until the bell. Tuesday 1. Drills: fire, tornado, lockdown 2. Sinks, paper towels, soap: proper use 3. First week notes, absentee issues: work missed, extension date 4. Look at the advertisements on your table. Write down the elements and principles of design that you see in each one. 5. Begin looking at the different types of fonts in each ad. 5. Look for logos in the ads. 6. Begin sketching personal logo.

Wednesday 1. Continue sketching your personal logo. You will use your best one for your portfolio. 2. Write your name, first and last, and Graphic Design 1st block in 5 different fonts. You will select one of these to use for your portfolio. 3. Think about how you want to lay out your portfolio and create 5 different thumbnail sketches for your layout, use logo, Name, and period in these layouts. 4. Learn about the grading rubric for this project. What is artistic vision? On the back of this paper, write down ways you can get those artistic vision points! Be prepared for a baseline test tomorrow.

Thursday 1. Take the baseline for Graphic Design. Do your best because if you pass it, you will not need to retake it later! 2. Take your best layout, logo, fonts and draw it larger in your sketchbook. This will be your portfolio design.. Remember artistic vision!

Friday 1. Create a portfolio by folding white poster board in half. Hand it to your teacher to cut down to 20". The leftover strips will make viewfinders later. Use packing tape to secure the two short sides. 2. Spend the rest of class designing your portfolio. Your name and “Graphic Design” must be legible and you must have your logo present on your portfolio. Remember a logo is your “symbol” it stands for who you are. You may copy, trace, or redraw the letters you used previously. You are not required to use a ruler, but aim for straight lines. Please use 1-3 colors only! You may add other images to the other side of the portfolio. You will be graded on how well you tape your sides, write your name and Graphic Design, how you layout your elements, and how neatly you do your work. You will also be graded on how you create your portfolio in your own artistic way.

3. Your portfolio is due first thing Wednesday. Don't forget! All your required materials are due Tuesday!!! Essential Standards B.V.1.4 Recognize how Elements of Art and Principles of Design are used in art. B.V.1.2 Apply the Elements of Art and Principles of Design to create art.

Common Core Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse formats and media, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.

Notes 1. Teach all policies that students are expected to know, like how/when to sharpen pencil, how to ask to use hall pass, how to ask for work missed, how to behave when coming into art room, proper addressing (yes, ma'am; no, ma'am). 2. Late work will not be tolerated except that absentees get five days extension for every one day out, when students ask for an extension before the due date (no questions asked), or for family emergencies (treat like an absence if a student, for example, spent all night at grandma's sick bed.) 3. Students with extensions must commit to extra work time outside of class. Students are expected to stay current with class work, so students must catch up using time at home. Students may come to the art room before and after school, during homeroom, and lunch to catch up work and use art room supplies. Students may borrow supplies for up to a week by signing the materials out on the Borrowed Art Materials list. Some expensive or unique items may require collateral. 4. Bathroom/locker hall passes are limited to one each half of a semester for a total of two passes a semester. Students may use the pass during work times or after cleanup, not during teaching, tests, or the first ten minutes of class. Students are permitted five minutes and no longer. Abuse of the privilege necessitates revocation. Students with a doctor's note allowing unlimited bathroom passes may use the pass when necessary. Students who do not use the hall pass for the bathroom or locker all semester will receive five extra credit points on their final exam/art show grade.

5. To use the hall pass, students must first discreetly ask and acquire permission to leave the room. Then they must fill out their hall pass with the date (look on front wall calendar), destination, and time (look on computer) and then present to the teacher to sign. No hall pass/agenda means no permission to leave the room. Replacement agendas are available in the guidance office for $5.

6. First period tardy students must present a pink admit slip to the teacher before sitting down quietly. If a tardy student does not present a pink slip, they must acquire one immediately and accept a twenty point daily participation penalty for missing more class. If the tardy reason is unexcused, a twenty point daily participation penalty is applied. All other tardies up to three minutes will receive a twenty point daily participation penalty. Tardies over three minutes will receive a referral for skipping class. On a student's fourth tardy, the student receives a 45 minute detention. On the fifth, a 90 minute detention. On the sixth, a referral. This tally starts over at the next report card.

7. If a student was absent, they should present a pink admit slip the first day back. See tardy policy above. The student must then consult the white board or weekly folder to see what work they have missed. During work time, the student should consult with the teacher to clarify work missed and to ask for the extended due date.

8. Students are expected to be in their seats and quietly working on their daily sketch by the bell each day. This allows the teacher to take accurate attendance. Students must remain quiet for the first five to ten minutes of class to allow other students to complete their sketch or writing assignment. The teacher will signal when to stop sketching or writing and to listen to instructions. Students must have available in their drawers every day: sketchbook, pencil, and pencil sharpener with reservoir.

9. Students must remain in their assigned seats until the teacher signals they may rise to gather materials to start work. Students should gather their materials efficiently and quietly and return to their seats without excessive socializing. Students are not permitted to socialize during work times, but must remain quiet so everyone may do their best work. Talking during work times will result in disciplinary action.

10. Students are expected to participate appropriately in class discussions, critiques, and group projects. Extra credit points are given to students who participate in particularly meaningful ways.

11. Clean up time will be signaled by the teacher, generally five to ten minutes before the bell. At the signal, students should end their work and clean up their own area, then help with cleaning up the table, floor, and sink they used, and then help at other areas around the room. Clean up participation is worth twenty daily participation points. Student Information sheet
