My name is Christopher Jarrell and I have been a teacher for CMCSS since 2009. I believe all students have the ability to be creative and express themselves through art. I am looking forward to another great year at Kirkwood High! Go Cobras! #standtall

Welcome to the Visual Arts Department at Kirkwood High School!!

  • Parents/Guardians, please read the appropriate class syllabus for your student and complete the Acknowledgement form by Monday, August 17th. Links for these documents can be found under Classroom Links.
  • Students enrolled in any Visual Arts class (Art I, Art II, Art III, Media Arts, or AP Art) will need to purchase a standard sized (8x10-9x12), spiral bound (preferably) sketchbook which will be used daily in class. This is not an optional supply. Not purchasing a sketchbook will not be an excuse for missing or late work. If you feel as though it will be a financial burden, it is your responsibility to make contact with either the instructor or the student's counselor. 
  • Students will need this sketchbook in class beginning Monday, August 17th
  • All materials will be provided for in-class projects, however,  students will need to purchase their own pencils, colored pencils, ruler, sharpies, ink pens, glue stick etc. for use at home. Class materials will NOT be sent home with students except on a case-by-case basis. If you feel as though purchasing these materials will be a financial burden, it is your responsibility to make contact with the instructor or the student's couselor. 
  • Students will receive weekly sketchbook assignments beginning Monday, August 17th. Sketchbook assignments will be given to the students on Monday and will be turned in by the end of the day Friday. Students will be given class time each day to work on these assignments, but the expectation is that they are being worked on and completed outside of class. 
  • I look forward to a GREAT year in the Kirkwood Art room! Please feel free to reach out via email at any time! 

Course Expectations:

  •       Students are responsible for in-class studio work, participation during in-class activities, studio preparation and clean-up, artist/artwork research, writing assignments, homework and weekly sketchbook assignments.
  •       Students are expected to plan artwork, put forth good effort in creating that work, manage their studio/working time appropriately, complete the assignment, turn assignment in on time, and complete the written analysis or reflection.
  •       Students are expected to come to class on time and be prepared for every class. This includes bringing their sketchbook to class daily. 
  •       Students will respect the teacher, other students/artwork, and themselves at all times.
