Sketchbook
Each section will have a sketchbook assignment designed to assist in the creative process. Please have a
sketchbook dedicated to this course.
Website
All work created in this course will be documented and uploaded onto the website created in ARTT 112. Each
section may have different requirements for your website. A website workshop will occur in the second half of the
term.
Artist Statements
The ability to communicate ideas in written form is an essential skill for an artist. Printed artist statements are
required at each critique. Statements should supplement, not support, the work being presented and be reflective
of the student’s research and interests. Be sure to utilize the university’s writing center as needed.
TOOLS + MATERIALS
The lab fee associated with this course covers consumable materials and tool kits provided for you in the studios.
All other materials are the responsibility of the student. Materials needed for each project vary based on scale and
each individual idea, so it is rather difficult to provide a list of everything that may be needed throughout the term.
*This is a TENTATIVE list of required materials. It is subject to, and probably will change. Each instructor will
have their own materials that they will require or prefer. Your flexibility is necessary and appreciated.
Recommended Materials and Supplies:
Sketchbook or 3-Ring Binder (for sketches and research images)
Composition Notebook (for technical notes)

COURSE POLICIES
Attendance Policy
Attendance is an essential part of this class and will be taken every day. Each class session will offer classroom
discussions, introduction to new techniques, as well as work time. Students are allowed two absences. Each
subsequent absence will result in one letter grade being deducted from the student’s final grade. Three late
arrivals or early departures will count as one absence. Exceptions to this policy will only be accepted with
documentation of sickness or family emergency. If you are absent more than six times you will not be eligible for a
passing grade in this class. Perfect attendance will add 1% to your final course average.
Eye Wash Stations and First Aid Kits are located by the sinks in every studio.
A link to Fine Arts Handbooks http://www.winthrop.edu/cvpa/FINEARTS/default.aspx?id=24784 including Health
and Safety Manual and Student Handbook. A hard copy of the health and safety manual and all MSDS sheets are
located in each studio.
Dress Code
Closed toed shoes must be worn in the studio at all times. A student not wearing closed toed shoes will be asked to
leave to change and be marked “late”. Absolutely no loose clothing, scarves, or ties should be worn around power
tools or equipment. Long hair must be tied back when using power tools.
Studios + Access
The Studio is a shared space. Students are required to clean up after themselves at all times. This includes, but is
not limited to: putting tools away after use, wiping and/or sweeping off studio table tops,
scrubbing/vacuuming/sweeping debris or difficult stains, cleaning around the sink areas, tools, spills, etc. Always
leave things cleaner than you found them.
Some studios are only accessible during posted hours when a monitor is on duty. If your schedule conflicts
significantly with the available hours be aware that it will be very difficult to meet the requirements of this class.
Your student ID will provide access to Rutledge during weekend and evening hours, please see Ms. Conway in
McLaurin 112 if your card does not work.
Respect
Please be respectful towards other students, instructors, and faculty. Refrain from inappropriate language while in
class and do not raise your voice. “Veto” power is law when it comes to music or other media being played
throughout the studio.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Responsibility for good conduct rests with students as adult individuals. The policy on student academic
misconduct is outlined in the “Student Conduct Code Academic Misconduct Policy” in the online Student Handbook
(http://www2.winthrop.edu/studentaffairs/handbook/StudentHandbook.pdf).
