Course Overview
Credit 1.0 (full year course)
Grades: 11-12 (GAC)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Studio Portfolio I or permission of the instructor
This purpose of this year-long class is to provide students with instruction in advanced topics in painting and drawing with an emphasis placed on building a portfolio suitable for admission to college art programs.
Students will gain increasing autonomy in their art production as well as specifically selected assignments to fulfill art school portfolio requirements. On-going topics will include developing a body of work that demonstrates competence with the elements and principles of art. Oil and watercolor painting techniques will be explored in depth. This class is strongly recommended for students interested in taking Advanced Placement Studio Art and/or pursing a post-secondary program in the visual arts and design.
Grading
Students are graded in three main areas; the first grade is based on daily workshop points. Students earn daily credit for coming to class and using their time productively. This grade reflects the effort to learn new skills, regardless of one’s ability in art. Once they practice a new technique, students then undertake a major project to submit for a project grade. Lastly, weekly homework is a necessary way to independently practice skills learned in class; these assignments total about an hour a week.
Marking Period grade determined by:
Daily Grade = 30%
Major Project Grades= 40%
Weekly Homework = 10%
Quarterly Assessment = 20%
