Studio in Art

Sachem High School East – Ms. Corbisiero

Studio in Art satisfies the New York State art requirement for graduation.  It is a credit-bearing course that meets daily from September through June and includes a final exam project at the end of the school year.

The curriculum is based on the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design, as well as the standards of art set by New York State. Using a variety of materials each project will incorporate a combination of these concepts.

Requirements and Materials

• Students are asked to bring in the following materials (due Friday 9/14):

• Signed contract slip (please cut from the bottom of this page, keep the rest of the page for reference)

• One box of Ziploc (type) bags – any size

• 24 – (#2) pencils with erasers (prefer “Dixon Ticonderoga” brand)

• Two white erasers (such as “Staedler” or “Factis” plastic erasers)

• Two bars of large white Ivory soap (must be Ivory, size is 4.5oz)

• This is a workshop class.  Attendance, promptness to class, positive/on-task behavior and participation are required.  Poor attendance, lateness, cutting, poor behavior, etc. will negatively impact a student’s grade.

• Good time management and adherence to due dates are crucial.

• Proper use of and respect for all supplies, materials, and artwork is mandatory.

• Courtesy and respect for others is expected.

Absences

• The art department strictly adheres to Sachem’s attendance policy.

• If a student cannot attend class, it will be his/her responsibility to make up missed assignments.  Assignment information can be obtained by contacting a classmate or by emailing me at LCorbisiero@Sachem.edu.

• If a student falls behind due to absences, he/she will be expected to make up time after school.

• If a student is legally absent the day an assignment is due, he/she must turn the assignment in the day he/she returns to school, unless otherwise discussed.

• Work that is late due to one or more illegal absences will receive no credit.

Discipline

If a behavioral problem arises, the procedure is:

• Verbal warning

• Parental contact / Possible detention

• Referral to Assistant Principal

Extra help

Extra help is available regularly and as needed after school, during 9^th period.  Please see me to discuss staying to be sure I am available.
