| Policies for Make-up or Late Work | Do not fall behind with your work. Use student access time to catch up if you are absent. Late work is graded down one grade unless you have an excused absence and then you have one additional day for each day of absence. Work missed during an unexcused absence may not be made up. | Teacher Comments: | Creation is a singular event. It takes place in the innermost recessed of one’s self. It functions best when you are alone, quiet and introspective. It is a product of your total ownership. It takes place on the right side of the brain where words and language are not produced. Because of this, talking while trying to create a drawing is impossible and copying someone’s work (plagiarism) is not creative and not true drawing. Thank you for your support of the arts. Hopefully you will have a creative and fun experience. |
