8. Classroom Supplies Every art student needs to purchase or bring a sketchbook (preferred), a notebook or a binder for art. Bring this item with you every day to class as we will use it often. Keep classroom supplies in the student’s locker. If the student leaves their classroom supplies in the room and they can’t find it, they will be responsible for replacing it. EVERY DAY, BRING YOUR: SKETCHBOOK, ART NOTEBOOK OR ART BINDER PENCIL PENCIL SHARPENER YOUR SUPPLY CARD A random supplies grade will be taken per six weeks to ensure materials are brought every day.

9. Art Supply Card I am going to give you an index card on which you will write your NAME & CLASS PERIOD on BOTH SIDES. You will now draw on & decorate this card – have it reflect your personality. When you are finished, you will give it to me and I will laminate it. This will be your art supply card for the year. You will bring it to class everyday. When you need to check out a supply, such as a book or one of my supplies, you will hand me your card. When you return the supply, you will receive your card back. If I do not receive my supply back, you will be responsible for the cost of the item. Keep your art supply card in your sketchbook, art notebook, or art binder once I laminate it and give it to you. I will give you a library pocket to attach to the inside cover of your sketchbook to make it easier for you.

10. Artwork Storage Each student is going to receive a storage folder now. Using your pencil and markers, draw on it and decorate it. Make it reflect your personality because you will be storing your completed artwork in it for portfolio review grade at the end of each semester. Examples are up front. This folder will be yours all year to store your artwork in. Make sure you put ALL of your loose artwork in here at the end of each day. You can also put any papers I give back to you in here. Make sure everything is neatly placed in here. There will be a vertical slot specifically for students’ classes which they can place your folder (PLEASE BE AWARE HOWEVER THE ONLY WAY STUDENTS CAN GUARANTEE THE FOLDER’S SAFETY IS TO TAKE IT WITH THEM EVERY DAY) PLACE YOUR FOLDER IN YOUR APPROPRIATE CLASS SLOT
