Dear student,
Only eight colors that you need. What the devil. A fan brush can be your best friend. Let’s make some happy little clouds in our world. God gave you this gift of imagination. Use it. Let’s put some happy little bushes on the other side now. We must be quiet, soft and gentle.
From all of us here, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless, my friends. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it’s almost like a chocolate brown. Look around, look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it. You can create anything that makes you happy. In your world you can create anything you desire. Trees grow in all kinds of ways. They’re not all perfectly straight. Not every limb is perfect. Isn’t it great to do something you can’t fail at? This is the time to get out all your flustrations, much better than kicking the dog around the house or taking it out on your spouse.
There are no limits in this world. I was blessed with a very steady hand; and it comes in very handy when you’re doing these little delicate things. We don’t need any guidelines or formats. All we need to do is just let it flow right out of us. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. It all happens automatically. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. Let’s have a little bit of fun today. When you do it your way you can go anywhere you choose.

Class Information
Overview
What will I learn?
You don’t have to be crazy to do this but it does help. Now then, let’s play. All you have to do is let your imagination go wild. You create the dream – then you bring it into your world. Be brave. That’s what makes life fun. That you can make these decisions. That you can create the world that you want. I sincerely wish for you every possible joy life could bring. A beautiful little sunset. Every single thing in the world has its own personality – and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals.

Tips
How to prepare
We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. Follow the lay of the land. It’s most important. It’s life. It’s interesting. It’s fun.
We don’t have to be committed. We are just playing here. Let’s build an almighty mountain. Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day. Maybe there’s a happy little Evergreen that lives here. This is where you take out all your hostilities and frustrations. It’s better than kicking the puppy dog around and all that so. It’s a super day, so why not make a beautiful sky? A happy cloud. No worries. No cares. Just float and wait for the wind to blow you around.
Classroom Atmosphere & Expectations
This course is designed to provide and maintain an environment that is conducive to learning for all students. We will work together to encourage the free exchange of ideas in an environment of respect and civil discourse. Inappropriate comments or behavior can sometimes seriously undermine that environment. For example, while students and faculty are encouraged to debate ideas and offer differing viewpoints, even when these exchanges are uncomfortable, they should recognize that personal attacks are unacceptable. Steps to address disruptive or disrespectful behavior and assure that all students are able to participate fully in their academic pursuits are outlined in the Classroom Atmosphere Policy, located in both The Scot’s Key and The Faculty Handbook (Chapter 3). A pattern of disruptive behavior in several courses will be addressed jointly by Deans of the offices of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs.

Other School Policies
Academic Honesty and the Code of Academic Integrity
The academic program at the College seeks to promote the intellectual development of each student and the realization of that individual’s potential for creative thinking, learning, and understanding. In achieving this, each student must learn to act rigorously, independently, and imaginatively.
The College’s understanding and expectations in regard to issues of academic honesty are fully articulated in the Code of Academic Integrity as published in The Scot’s Key and form an essential part of the implicit contract between the student and the College. The Code provides framework at Wooster to help students develop and exhibit honesty in their academic work. You are expected to know and abide by these rules.
Dishonesty in any of your academic work is a serious breach of the Code of Academic Integrity and is grounds for serious penalties. Such violations include turning in another person’s work as your own, copying from any source without proper citation, violating expectations for a group project, submitting an assignment produced for a course to a second course without the authorization of all the instructors, and dishonesty in connection with your academic work. You will be held responsible for your actions. Particular attention should be directed to the appropriate use of materials available online. Whether intentional or not, improper use of materials is a violation of academic honesty. If you are unsure as to what is permissible, please contact your course instructor.
Conflicts with Academic Responsibilities
The College of Wooster is an academic institution, and its fundamental purpose is to stimulate its students to reach the highest standard of intellectual achievement. As an academic institution with this purpose, the College expects students to give the highest priority to their academic responsibilities. When conflicts arise between academic commitments and complementary programs (including athletic, cultural, educational, and volunteer activities), students, faculty, staff, and administrators all share the responsibility of minimizing and resolving them.
As a student you have the responsibility to inform the faculty member of potential conflicts as soon as you are aware of them, and to discuss and work with the faculty member to identify alternative ways to fulfill your academic commitments without sacrificing the academic integrity and rigor of the course.
