the HOW TOs of the art room
Why you need to know the
classroom procedures?
• For safety.
• For your time in the art studio to be
smooth and hassle free.
• To understand your role as a student and
my role as your instructor.
• How to act in the classroom
Entering the classroom:
• Enter the room quietly and be seated in
assigned seats unless otherwise noted.
• Always check the white board or screen
for any classroom announcements.
• Take out any necessary supplies (pencils,
erasers, etc.)
When to get supplies:
• During the beginning of class (before the bell).
• Check the white board to see what art supplies
are needed.
• During a Studio Time, write YOUR NAME – T
(indicating you need an art tool)
• When the teacher instructs you to do so.
Art Supplies:
The art room is a community; therefore all supplies in the
classroom are shared with students not only in your
classroom but other periods as well. This means that all art
materials will be treated with respect. Any abuse of the
materials WILL NOT be tolerated and proper disciplinary
channels will commence.
• Mistreating art supplies WILL result in an writing essay.
• Art Bins are tools specifically for a certain table.
– If art bins are missing a tool/s or not clean, ENTIRE table will
result in an writing essay.
• Ask for permission before using another person’s materials or
classroom supplies.
Sharpening Pencils:
• Best time is before class.
• If you want to sharpen a pencil while I am talking
(for the sake of taking notes/ or practicing a
demo technique) wave your pencil in an “up and
down” motion. DO NOT interrupt my instruction;
I will shake my head either YES or NO to let you
know whether or not you may sharpen your
pencil.
Using the Restroom:
• The best time to use the bathroom is before or after class (passing
time).
• The time to ask for the bathroom is during a studio-time or after I am
finished with an ART DEMO (most of the time I will say no).
• You cannot ask to go to the bathroom for 10 minutes after the
starting bell or the last 10 minutes of class.
• No more than one student at a time is allowed to use the restroom.
• You must carry the ART ROOM bathroom pass to use the
bathroom.
• You must write your name on the sign-out sheet, have the teacher’s
permission, and take the restroom pass with you before leaving the
classroom.
• Students are allowed to go to the restroom five times per quarter.
• If you are continuing to use the bathroom on a daily basis, your
bathroom privileges will be revoked. (unless having a nurse’s note)
Obtaining a Hall Pass:
• During Studio Time or after the teacher is finished
talking to the class.
• Write your name on the whiteboard under the “Out-ofClass Situations” section
Obtaining a Hall Pass during Studio Time
• Writing the letter “P” and (dash) and your name on the
board.
• Writing the letter “N” (Nurse) and (dash) and your
name on the board.
• Writing the letter “B” (Bathroom) and (dash) and your
name on the board.
Teacher Directed Instruction
(aka Demo Day):
• Stay in your seat and listen carefully when Mr. Ordoña or
a student is speaking.
• Follow teacher directions (listening, note-taking, drawing,
etc)
• Not the time to ask permission to go to out of the
classroom. The answer will most likely be NO.
• You are responsible for your own work and behavior.
Asking questions during Demo-Day:
• Raise your hand when wanting to ask a
question or make a comment.
• Wait to be called on; do not call teacher’s
name.
Asking for Help Independent Seatwork
(aka “Studio Time”):
• Raise your hand and wait to be called on.
• Do not interrupt me when I’m helping another student.
• Write your name on the board, in order, if you need help.
• Each student will get at least 2 minutes of help from me,
unless I am catching up a student who has been absent.
I will let the class know that this will happen.
• If you are next and I am helping a student, it is okay for
the next coming student to say, “Mr. Ordoña, it is now
my turn for help.”
