Advanced Placement Studio Art Syllabus
ADVANCED PLACEMENT STUDIO ART
The Advanced Placement Studio Art courses are college level courses in the visual arts. This course is intended to offer the student a college level curriculum in the high school environment. Students who successfully complete the course can request credit from the college or university they will attend. The awarding of college credit for AP scores is at the discretion of the individual schools. Colleges and universities will review a student’s portfolio before awarding advanced credit.COURSE DESCRIPTION:Students enrolled in the AP Studio Art course will be expected to produce art in a variety of media, technique, and subject matter. Emphasis is placed on drawing from observation; the application of color and design principles; understanding the fundamentals of two-dimensional design; the development of a body of work that is the student’s own choosing; recognition of the history of art and it’s role in the development of visual ideas; and application of the critique process in written and oral form. Students are expected to work both in class and at home throughout the school year. All assignments are to be turned in on time and complete. The College Board contends that AP courses should address three major concerns that are constants in the teaching of art: (1) a sense of quality in a student's work; (2) the student's concentration on a particular visual interest or problem; and (3) the student's need for a breadth of experience in the formal, technical, and expressive means of the artist.Mutual Respect: Everyone is at a different level of ability and development. An atmosphere of trust is critical to learning and artistic development. Students will respect the teacher, the art room, and the art materials as well as each other. Students need to respect other students' work in comments as well as actions. Areas of concern are best expressed by meeting with the teacher without an audience.Grading Profile:Projects 45% At Homes 45%Final Exam 10% EVALUATION OF ARTWORK:Craftsmanship-skill, procedures, and purpose of workDesign quality-visual organizationExpressiveness-relative to the subject, idea, and themeOriginality-uniqueness, imagination, freshnessEvaluation sheets will be used when grading major works.Work must be submitted in a professional manner. No rolled, wrinkled, stained, folded artwork will be accepted. Chalk pastels or charcoal work must have a cover sheet!Participation grade will be lowered if: students are not working in class, failing to bring necessary materials to class, and not cleaning art materials and work area. "AT HOME" WorksYou will complete a finished work every 2 weeks this semester. You will be given subject matter or actual materials with which to complete your piece and we will critique them in class on Mondays. After the critique, you will have three days to elaborate and rework your project. Completed “At Homes” will be turned in at the end of class on Thursdays. Class participation is mandatory—points will be deducted if you do not participate in the critique. If you do not bring your “At Home” to the critique, 25 points will automatically be deducted on your “At Home” grade. These assignments should show evidence of 3-5 hours work each. NO LATE WORK IS ACCEPTED!!! ALL WORK MUST BE COMPLETED AND TURNED IN ON TIME AT DESIGNATED AREA!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!! PortfoliosAll AP students are required to submit slides for the portfolios due in the spring. There will be a separate fee later in the school year for the Advanced Placement Portfolio for the College Board.

Visual Arts Comprehensive I /Art History Syllabus
Visual Arts Comprehensive I / Art History introduces the beginning art student to the basic elements and principles of art and design and a base knowledge of past art movements, architecture, and artists' personal statements. In addition, the students will be introduced to the study of aesthetics, art criticism, and art‑related careers. A variety of art media may be used to help students understand and communicate the language and purpose of art. Students will be expected to demonstrate knowledge of this content by recognition, recall, observation, identification, and collection of assigned tasks. This course must be successfully completed before taking any other visual art course.
A complete outline of projects and class assignments are attached. This outline should be consulted weekly for class work assignments and sketchbook assignments. Assignments are also communicated on the classroom board daily. Late projects/class assignments will NOT be accepted for full credit unless of an excused absence in which case the projects/class assignments MUST be turned in on the same day that the student returns.
Participation is critical to success in a high school studio course. Participation will count as 45% of the final average. Each student will receive 100 points on Monday of each week; students will not lose points off their participation grade when absent. Points will be deducted for the following:
(1) Forgetting sketchbook, outside assignments, or required supplies-20 points
(2) Lack of preparation or participation in class activities-20 points
(3) Lack of attention or focus during class-20 points
(4) Lack of respect or failure to follow class procedures, policies, and expectations-20 points
(5) Having food, drinks, gum or candy-20 points
Note book and sketchbook: We recommend that you keep a 3 ring binder or a notebook to contain all art project directions, artist handouts and sketchbook assignments. This binder/notebook can be kept in the art room and can be used to review for quizzes and final exam material. Sketchbook assignments are designed to enrich your class projects, and the due dates are attached. All sketchbook assignments are to be complete drawings on white paper (NOT notebook paper), following the directions given. When the assignment asks for shading show at least seven values. Include ALL details. Make sure you have a focal point. Fill the entire space of the paper. Include background information if applicable. Read the rubric comments and apply them to your next assignment. We recommend you draw something in your sketchbook everyday and that you turn all assignments in on time.
A few quizzes will be administered through out the semester, to assess your understanding of project procedures, elements of art and artists.
Due dates: All in class art projects and sketchbook assignments from each six-week grading period must be turned in accordingly (see attached).

Drawing & Painting Syllabus
DRAWING AND PAINTING I
Drawing and Painting I emphasizes individualization in advanced drawing, recognition of underlying structure common to all forms, and introduces color with paints. Students will further study contour line, the gestural figure, portraiture, landscapes, and value coupled with the study of a variety of artists. Basic painting tools, media and techniques are introduced in this course. Advanced drawing media such as pen and ink, conte’ crayon, charcoal, graphite, and pastels may be used to help students understand and communicate the language and purpose of art.
Mutual Respect: Everyone is at a different level of ability and development. An atmosphere of trust is critical to learning and artistic development. Students will respect the teacher, the art room, and the art materials as well as each other. Students need to respect other students’ work in comments as well as actions. Areas of concern are best expressed by meeting with the teacher without an audience.
