    I would like to introduce myself. I am Ms. Donlon your scholars Art Teacher for the school year.

    Studio in Art/ Photo/ Ceramics:

    These art courses are beginning to second level for students with limited prior art experience, but will also challenge and engage students that have a rich background in the visual arts. These courses explore the fundamental concepts of visual arts through projects in various 2D and 3D media. These courses emphasize participation, effort, and sensitivity to the elements and principles of visual organization. These courses will be taught by supplementing projects, slides, lectures, discussion, and creativity.

    Students are responsible for completing sketchbook assignments, homework, class assignments, projects, and reflections. Attendance is very important and any missed days/ periods are expected to be made up. Students will receive detailed information regarding timelines for projects and make up work. Students are required to see me for any missed work. If there are any questions you have as a parent/ guardian of a RBHS scholar please do not hesitate to email me at Katie.donlon@rcsdk12.org. I am always up to date with my grading and respond best to emails. I would love to keep an open line of communication with all parents, so do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

    Requirements for students:
