Teacher: Mrs. Garrigo – Room 125Email: ngarrigo@dadeschools.net

Website: www.fergusonhs.org / Teachers / Directory / GarrigoCourse Overview

Welcome Ferguson Art Falcons, 

If you are taking Drawing (1 or 2), Painting (1 or 2) or 2 Dimensional Studio Art this year, we will be covering both beginners and advanced techniques in class. This class is will teach you the basic understanding of visual art. No matter what other art classes you move into later, this class will give you the foundation to succeed with your future art courses. 

If you are taking Fine Craft Studio Art, you will be making several fabric/yarn based projects. You will be learning the basics of sewing by hand and by machine, as well as skills that will help you become independent and able to resolve simple problems. Each project will require different materials, so we will be discussing them in class, and you will have at least 2 weeks to get them. You fee is $10 which covers all binding materials and tools needed. 

If you are and IB Art Student, then welcome to IB Art. This class will have both Pre IB and IB students so with everyone's help and input, we will work as a team to make this as easy as possible. Please have a topic/art era/art style/artist in mind within the first week so, so we can discuss and get started on your assignments right away. If you get a chance, go into the IB website (not Ferguson IB section), under visual arts and look through the projects and ideas that have been posted to help you with your thoughts. 

Please go to your specific class to see the supplies that will be needed within the first week. Drawing, Painting, 2D, and IB are FEE classes ($20) and they will be collected during fee week through the student portal. The teachers will receive an email when the fee is paid.

Thank you and I look forward to a wonderful year!

If you have a legitimate reason for being tardy, I expect you to have a signed pass with the time you left from the previous teacher/adult who dealt with you. You are responsible for making-up any work missed during your absence/tardy.

Bathroom/Hall Passes & Dismissal

the bathroom during this period 4 times each semester. NO MORE passes will be given after the 4 allotted. After you use the 4 passes, you have no more bathroom privileges for this class until the next semester.

4. Put your name on all 4 passes and keep them in a safe place, I will not be policing your passes. If you do not have your name on them and you drop/lose them, I will not issue you a replacement. Do not keep them in your supply box or sketchbook.

5. I understand the school is large and crowded, but please try to go between classes. 6. Please drop off your bathroom pass on my desk and sign the log book with your name and time before leaving for the

bathroom. Grab the orange key hall pass and go. After returning, sign back into the log book with the time returned.7. ONLY 2 students are allowed to leave the room at the same time.8. Bathroom privileges will be suspended if you choose to abuse them.9. If you have any special circumstances that require you to go to the bathroom during this class time more than the 4

allowed times, please see your counselor and/or have your parent email them with your situation. A medical excuse will be needed in order to facilitate your request.
