KNOWLEDGE = SUPERPOWER

Reading = information
Art = ideas
Math / Science (Technology/ Engineering) = application

Welcome to the new school year!

            I am excited to have you as my art student.  We will embark on a creative journey that will take us through all the continents while exploring different media, artistic styles, and content.  
We will also experiment with various design elements and visual art principles. 

First, you will need some art supplies to use during class.  Please get these to create your assignments: 
      ·       a pack of copy paper
      ·       a pack of construction paper 
      ·       a sketchbook/drawing papers 
·       a set of 10 big multi-colored markers
·       a set of 12 colored pencils
·       a set of 12 crayons
·       a pair of scissors
·       a pack of pencils to last the year
·       a set of sharpeners to last the year
·       a set of erasers to last the year
·       a set of glue sticks to last the year

 Furthermore, remember that our art class rules are the same as your homeroom class. I'm counting on you to behave so that we may enjoy creating lots of fun artwork!

Lastly, please be aware that grades will be awarded based on these criteria: following directions, effort, creativity, behavior, class readiness, assignment completion, comprehension assessments, homework, attendance, and final artwork overall presentation. 
          
          I am looking forward to a great creative year! You may contact me at any time by calling 305-945-1511 or emailing me at dorothywawa@dadeschools.net.
