Week 1
Wecome to Visual Arts!
I am happy to have this opportunity to create art with each of you!
Some of the things we will be doing in class will be:
Learn to draw
Draw in 3-D
Draw and Paint in a variety of media, such as pencil, colored pencil, crayon, oil pastel, pastel, pen & ink, watercolor, and tempera paint.
We will learn about all the many art careers.
We will study many artists, and hopefully have a guest artist, so we can find out what it's really like to be an artists.
We will participate in contests, such as The Young Writers and Artist's Fest.
Explore art & museum sites on the computer, and create computer art.
We will represent Mount Logan Middle School with beautiful art!
We will become a classroom community- this comes next..........
Our Artroom Rules
To insure that the MLMS artroom is a safe and enjoyable environment for all, the following rules must be followed:
Be respectful.
Clean up.
Use materials/equipment responsibly.
Stay in your assigned seat during art production time
Try.
WE follow the same rules that are in the MLMS Student Handbook.
Grading
MLMS art students are graded on how well they achieve the learning objectives for each assignment or project. They are also graded on following directions, craftsmanship, originality and completion of preliminary work and self- assessment.
All assignments and assessments are evaluated using the standard rubric:
4 - exemplary, 3 - accomplished, 2 - developing, 1 - beginning
Expectations are for all students to reach a level of 3 or greater on all work. Whenever less than a 3 is indicated the work may be redone to show the student has increased their level of understanding. 10 points per day will be deducted from all late work. Professional artists have to be on time! If we are not on time, it delays learning for everyone.
Most assignments are worth 100 points. If it is late for one day, 10 points will be taken off. Each day late is another single point.
Life Skills
Students will receive scores using the 1-4 ratings as described above in the following areas:
• Participation
• Work ethic
• Collaborative skills
• Courtesy/Respect
You will be expected to respect the Artroom and all supplies, and clean up art materials. I hope no one will want to harm or destroy expensive art materials. There is no longer a 6th grade art program because of budget cuts.
Our materials are expensive and special, and will enable you to have success with art. If anyone is found to be harming material, this is vandalism, and I will refer you to Detective Argyle. This is a serious thing to do. Please take care of our room and supplies!
C o n s e q u e n c e s
Occassionaly a few students choose to ignore the art rules and behave poorly. In these cases, (depending on severity and frequency of poor behavior) the consequences for the student may be as follows:
Verbal warning
Conference with the teacher
Seat change
Temporary removal from artroom
Alternate assignment
Contact parent(s)
Behavior contract
Office referral
Permanent removal from class
Artroom procedures
When you arrive, put your backpack in the front of the room. Pick it up again after dismissal.
When you enter thew classroom, any earphones must be put out of sight. Please take your seat and begin drawing the atrter sketch. It will be projected in fron of the cvlassroom.
Here is how I grade sketchbooks.
Your sketchbook full of starters and drawing for assignments, is worth 50% of your grade! I will let you know how I grade it, with a rubric.
At the end of each class period, a cleanup job will be assigned. Be sure to do it, it's part of your grade. All table groups must be washed each day before leaving, and chairs tucked in. Each class can then arrive to a cheerful and clean artroom.
About your teacher, Mrs. Rouse
I have loved art since I was very young, and I have worked as an artist for many years.
After I graduated from college, I became a stained glass artist.
Then I became a graphic artist! That is an artist that produces artwork such as logos, illustration, and poster design -
I like to teach summer school. I have even taught art in a barn at The American West Heritage Center!
My favorite job ever, is teacher here at Mount Logan Middle School!
I look forward to a successful trimester with each of you in Visual Arts!

Week 6
Friday
Thurs.
it was chaos to gather artwork- The kids should have it organized all along in a binder- binder hard at first but pay off along the way-- all assignments could fit in the binder & have title pages- I have lost track of too much artwork- It could be graded in chunks, like CTE
Picasso drawing upside down-- horse also.
Self- assess sketchbooks
Grading
Friday
Know the artist
They didn't get it-- it should be at the beginning- I rushed through the demo-- Spend TIME drawing the bottles with them. Make the bottles see through
Don't divide the top-- too confusing! Each section shad step one would have been the value chart!
They had already done the realistic shaded still life-- it was too hard to backttrack-- Value chart- see through still life-- then shaded still life.
Shading forms
Form worksheet
hand out 4B or 6B pencils
Draw still life in sketchbook
