Course Description
Art 2 challenges students to refine
their skills in fine arts media and
creative problem solving. Problems
become increasingly complex and
require students to draw upon
knowledge of both traditional and
contemporary art from diverse
perspectives. Works of art that
reflect a personal aesthetic and
exhibit breadth and quality become
the basis for a cumulative portfolio
including a sketchbook and visual
journal.

Students and Parents or Guardians, please read the statement below:
Mrs. Hensley went over the syllabus, course content, art studio expectations, grading,
attendance, and tardy policies. She also covered the Howard High School policy regarding
cell phones and other electronic devices. I have seen a copy of Howard High Schools
Discipline Ladder and understand the consequences outlined. Mrs. Hensley answered any
questions I had about the syllabus (a digital copy can be found at www.hhsart.weebly.com
under Art 1: Syllabus) and I understand what is expected of me in Art class.

Art Studio Expectations
Tardy & Attendance/Late Work Policy
Be in your seat and ready to learn when the bell rings - If you are late, the discipline ladder applies.
**The ONLY excused tardy that I accept must be accompanied by a teachers signature in your agenda book.
* For excused absences, you may make up missed work. You are permitted a one day extension for every
day you are absent. You are responsible for asking the instructor for missed work. The nature of the
assignment may require that you do the work at school rather than at home. It is up to the instructor to
decide on what day and at what time this would occur.
*Final assignments handed in late will have 10 points deducted each day until its worth half-credit. You
may receive up to credit for final assignments until the end of the quarter.
*Homework & sketchbook assignments handed in late will have 5 points deducted each day that its late.
*Extensions on a FINAL assignment will be given at my discretion and only to those students who work
diligently in class and cannot finish or work meticulouslynot to those who waste studio time.
* Do-Over Policy Not happy with the job you did on a FINAL assignment the first time around? You can
submit 1 re-do per quarter.
