Folk Art Overview ::
Art produced in a traditional fashion by peasants, seamen, country artisans, or trades people with no formal training, or by members of a social or ethnic group that has preserved its traditional culture.

It is predominantly functional, typically produced by hand for use by the maker or by a small group or community. Paintings are usually incorporated as decorative features on clock faces, chests, chairs, and interior and exterior walls. Sculptural objects in wood, stone, and metal include toys, spoons, candlesticks, and religious items. Folk architecture may include public and residential buildings, such as eastern European wooden churches and U.S. frontier log cabins. Other examples of visual folk arts are woodcuts, scrimshaw, pottery, textiles, and traditional clothing.

5. Have some FUN and try your BEST

Each student is an important member of this classroom. Attendance, punctuality, participation and attitude are a part of a daily classroom grade. Every student is expected to do his/her best on each assignment understanding that effort will be more important than "artistic talent."

Required $25 Folk Art Fee ::

This class will expose students to a variety of media and is designed to give them an overview of many different art forms. There is a required $25 art fee - please make checks payable to West Rowan High School.


Attendance & Tardy Policy ::

A three-day letter will be sent home with the student if they miss 3 classes. After 8 absences, a letter and progress report will be mailed home. All students missing 8 or more classes MUST recover their time after school or they will automatically fail the course. If Ms. Reed agrees to stay after school to allow a student to recover time and they do not show up, they will be required to attend Saturday school.

Students will receive 2 warnings for their first set of tardies, 3 tardies will result in a call upon entering the classroom to a parent /guardian, tardies 4 and 5 will result in automatic after school detention. If a student fails to show up after school they will automatically get Saturday school. Anything over 10 minutes late to class will be considered skipping and you will be written up. IMPORTANT - every 3 tardies will equal 1 absence!!!!

Keep it simple. Be ON TIME and DON'T SKIP my class.


Sock Monkeys ::

The Art & Diversity Club at West Rowan High School is gearing up for a wonderful school year! All students are welcome, listen to the announcements and watch WRZB for meeting times, locations and planned activities for the year.


Weekly Homework Assignments ::

Assigned Every Monday
Due Thursday at the Beginning of Class (late work -20 points automatically)

Select a piece of artwork and critique it. Be sure to include the following information:
1.    Your first and last name
2.    Date
3.    FA 2, 3 or 4 Block
4.    Featured artist’s name
5.    Title of the work you like/dislike
6.    5 sentences supporting your opinion

Remember that homework is graded on a check plus (100%), check (90%) and check minus (80%) grading scale so BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY for full credit! Be sure to double-check your spelling and grammar!

Falco Bucks are accepted for homework assignments on the DUE DATE at the beginning of class with your name, date, class and the artist's name written on the back. Keep in mind Falco Bucks only excuse assignments and no credit is awarded. Late assignments can be turned in with a Falco Buck to avoid the 20-point deduction.
