Do nothing to disturb the class in session. Students registered for that class have priority for space and easels.

 The Art Club meets in AAB 402 from 11:00 to 1:00 on Wednesdays. You are welcome to join them or you may work in the studio (quietly) while the Art Club meeting is in session. STILL-LIFE SET-UPS  Let your professor move the still-life carts whenever possible. If you must reposition a cart, do so VERY CAREFULLY to avoid disturbing the arrangement.  NEVER, EVER MOVE ITEMS IN THE STILL-LIFE SET-UPS. Many drawing and painting students are working from the same still-life. When you move something it can upset many students who need the exact arrangement you work from. If something falls or changes positions when the cart is rolled, try to replace the item exactly where/how it was.  Do not use tape to register still-life locations. Do a map/sketch of the relationship and distance of your easel from the still-life cart and the location of any light sources. You can also take a photo with your cell-phone to function as a reminder of your precise viewpoint. (Remember: Never draw from a cell-phone image or photo of anything! Always work from three-dimensional reality!) CONDUCT IN THE STUDIO  All persons are to be treated and addressed with respect at all times.  Conversations in the drawing studio are about drawing and the current course-work. Take all other conversations into the hallways during breaks. Speak quietly in the studio only when necessary, IN PARTICULAR WHEN MODELS ARE POSING.  Limit comings and goings in the studio to necessity. Remain in the studio during discussions, critiques, demos, and lectures, and while life-drawing is in session.  Follow your professor’s protocols and instructions for breaks. (10 minutes mid-class.)  No listening devices are allowed during the class. Cell phones should NEVER be brought out while the model is posing. Keep them in your pocket or bag and set them to vibrate.Take emergency cell-phone conversations into the hallway, otherwise no cell-phone conversations are acceptable.  When the model is posing: o The room is quiet. o Students are respectful and focused on drawing. o Prepare your drawing surface (ground) PRIOR to the beginning of the model-session. o Check that the studio door is closed and an appropriate visual barrier (cabinet door or easel) is in place to obstruct the view from the hallways. o No one touches the model for positioning at any time. Your instructor will verbally assist the model to return to a previous position. o The opportunity to draw from a model is a privilege for any artist and should always be treated as such. o Comments about the model (his/her age, ethnicity, body, gender, or any other quality) are absolutely unacceptable in the studio or on our campus. Such comments are an infringement upon their dignity and rights and are, thus, considered to be a verbal assault or abuse. Like any act of bias or harassment, such comments are a serious breach of the student code of conduct and will be dealt with according to those policies. Please see “Student Code of Conduct” in the WCC Student Handbook (http://www.sunywcc.edu/dep/pub_archive/index.htm) Disciplinary actions for such breaches may include: suspension, or dismissal/expulsion from school.
