Art III Yukon High School Mr. Brian Payne brian.payne@yukonps.com www.mrpayne.org 405.354.6692 ext. 2700 course description Art III is the continuation of Art II with the students using their knowledge of the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design to experiment with their own creative style and conceptual ideas. Students will examine the work of the masters throughout history to assist in the development of their own style of art. Advanced and more professional materials will be used including the use of acrylic and oil paint, clay and glazes, and canvas. Students will be financially responsible for supply costs. ($40.00) Prerequisite: Successful completion of Art II. The projects in Art III are more complex and difficult than those in Art I & II. You will be given more time to complete these projects, but I expect you to work continiously while you are in class. You must have passed (60% or above) both semesters of Art II to enroll in Art III. educational objectives Your objective in Art III this year is to gain a greater appreciation for the artistic styles of the past and apply those unique styles within your own artwork. class expectations and rules 1. Please arrive to class on time. If the door is shut, you are late and must to go to the office for a tardy slip. 2. Absolutely no cell phone or hand-held video game use. This includes texting, talking, or video games. Mp3 player use is allowed only when the instructor is not talking. 3. You must use a hallpass in order to leave the room (restroom, library, etc.). You will receive 9 hall passes per semester. 4. You share your desk with four other students, so please treat your desk as you would if you had your own office. Refrain from writing, carving, or drawing on the desk. You will be responsible for cleaning or repairing your desk if you alter it in anyway. 5. You are expected to work continuously during the class period. When there is 5 minutes left in class, you will be instructed on when you should start cleaning up. Do not clean up before this point. Please do not line up at the door. 6. I expect everyone to be able to work in an environment that is void of any slurs or derogatory comments that demean another student, person, or group of people. This includes comments pertaining to one s style of dress, race, gender, or sexual orientation. There is absolutely no tolerance on this issue. page 1
grading Below is a breakdown of the types of assignments we will work on and the weight of the assignment as it relates to your overall grade: Projects 50 to 300 points (50% of the Semester grade) Semester Exam: 100 to 120 points (20% of the Semester grade) *Daily Work: 10 points (30% of the Semester grade) * The Daily Work grade is based on your work ethic in class. I expect you to work continously in class. Goofing off, talking (and not working), cell phone use, and sleeping will greatly reduce your overall grade. projects Projects makeup the majority of your overall grade in Art III. These projects are based on the subject we are studying at the current time. Projects are graded based on 4 criteria: Effort (25% of your grade) How much effort did I put into my artwork? Did I rush through it? Did I take the time to use the art techniques I was taught? Effect (25% of your grade) How effective is my artwork? (use of color, design, etc.) Does it look finished? Does it look professional? Efficiency (25% of your grade) How well did I use my time in class? Did I wait until the last minute to start working? Did I just hang out and talk to people? Did I inappropriately use the hallpass? Classroom Management (25% of your grade) Did I put away all of the supplies in class? Did I clean my desk? Did I take care of my classroom supplies, including my desk? In order to comply with YHS grading standards, you will be given two (2) grades per week as a progress grade. These grades are simply based on your EFFIECIENCY in the class, and may not directly correlate with your final project grade. supplies You will need the following supplies for class this year: 1) Pencils! 2) Spiral bound sketchbook (if you have a sketchbook from last year, that will work) 3) $40.00 art supply fee (fee pays for clay, various types of paper, watercolor, acrylic & tempera paint, paint brushes, canvas, printing ink, Sharpies, erasers, etc.) page 2
your instructor I am originally from Stillwater, Oklahoma and graduated from Stillwater High School. I attended Loyola University in Chicago, where I received my Bachelors in Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography. I worked for a small advertising firm as their photographer and production artist for one year, then worked as a freelance Graphic Designer and Photographer after leaving the firm. After six years in Chicago, I moved back to Stillwater to attend graduate school, and earned my Masters in Education in 2008 from Oklahoma State University. Prior to Yukon High School, I was a Graduate Teacher at OSU for two years then completed my teaching internship at Lakenheath Elementary and Lakenheath High School on Lakenheath Air Force Base in England. I taught one year at Mustang Elementary School, and this is my seventh year at Yukon High School. I have visited over 60 culturally significant museums and architectural sites that pertain to our study of the visual arts, which allows me to provide you with a first-hand account of what you are studying, as well as hopefully inspire you to travel the world. When I am not working, I am usually working on my own artwork and have paintings on display in several in private collections across the United States. Additionally, I have an essay published in A Journey to Unlearn and Learn in Multicultural Education (Wang & Olson, 2009), acted as the photography consultant for Photography (Culture in Action) (Miles, 2009), and had a journal article published in the fall 2010 National Art Education Association s Social Justice issue. page 3
