*Visual Arts * Welcome to the world of high school visual arts! It's a pleasure to work with your students as they develop and nurture their own artistic skills and explore various mediums and ideas that have influenced the world of art. The Bridgman High School Visual Arts Program is in compliance with the Michigan Merit Visual Arts Curriculum and committed to excellence. Our students are highly competitive and involved in a number of juried visual arts shows throughout the year as well as four school shows. The 2011-2012 dates of those visual, performing and applied art show are: "Fall Fest" Monday, October 24, 2011 6:30-7:00 Visual and Applied Arts Show, BHS Commons 7:00 Performing Arts Show, BHS Performing Arts Center "Winter Works" Wednesday, December 7, 2011 6:30-7:00 Visual and Applied Arts Show, BHS Commons 7:00 Performing Arts Show, BHS Performing Arts Center
"Spring Into The Arts" Wednesday, May 9, 2012 6:30-7:00 Visual and Applied Arts Show, BHS Commons 7:00 Performing Arts Show, BHS Performing Arts Center Senior Art Show BHS Commons - Night of the "Senior Awards Night" 7:00 pm *Assignment and Project Information* To keep our students and parents better informed, you are invited to click on the links below for lesson plan information. Sketchbooks are required of all Art 2, Advance Art "A", and Advanced Art "B" students. The sketchbook requirements can also be found at the same link as projects/assignments. Project due dates can be found on your student's grade book screen.
*Visual Arts Due Dates/Attendance/Materials Policy* Sketchbook and Study Guide Due Dates: All sketchbook and study guide assignments have due dates. If a due date is missed because of student absence, the student is responsible to turn in the assignment at the end of the next class in which they return to class or make special arrangements with Mrs. Carlson prior to that next class. After that, these assignments will not be accepted for grading. Art Projects: Project due dates are set by the visual arts teacher. Student may negotiate a due date with the visual arts teacher if that student can give good reason as to the tardy nature of their project and Mrs. Carlson has witnessed concentrated efforts towards the completion of said project. Attendance: Students may miss up to 10 absences, as stated in the BHS Student Handbook, within one semester. Upon a student's 11th absence in the semester, the student's Visual arts grade will drop two (2) letter grades. The student may continue to participate in projects and assignment and attempt to raise their grade by regularly attending class, successfully completing projects, and artistically participating in class from that point on. Art Materials: Because of the nature of the art materials used and projects assigned, students may not be allowed to take home art room materials because in doing so, the availability of those materials to other students will be compromised. Students may purchase materials outside of class with which to complete projects. Textbooks are never allowed to leave the art room due to their limited number and they are used by all visual arts classes.
