Departmental Study Skills Expectations
It is assumed and expected that each student is prepared to work towards the four credits awarded upon completion. Studio Art 11 (Ceramics & Sculpture) will improve upon students’ study skills such as listening and note-taking, home study, research, organization, and most directly, management of time and materials.
Supplies & Materials Needed
Students may wish to have an apron or smock to protect their clothing. Consider collecting a box of carving tools and perhaps include personal hand lotion. A binder for notes, reflections, sketches and imagery is needed. Bring a pencil or pen to class each day.
