AP ART STUDIO 11/12 ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS
AP ART STUDIO 11/12 COURSE OUTLINE
DESCRIPTION:
ART STUDIO FOUNDATIONS 11/12 will develop skills learned in previous art courses. Students will review design, drawing, painting, printmaking, and three-dimensional work. Personal growth will be encouraged through development of individual portfolio images. These may include a variety of media best suited for your personal imagery.
ART STUDIO 2D 11/12 is designed for students who wish to focus on the elements and principles of design with a two-dimensional application (such as drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, multi-media and media arts). Imagery, historical and contemporary development and reasoned criticism will be applied to all projects.
ART STUDIO 3D 11/12 is designed for students who wish to focus on the elements and principles of design with a three-dimensional application (such as ceramics, sculpture and multi-media). Imagery, historical and contemporary developments and reasoned criticism will be applied to all projects.
These 3 SENIOR VISUAL ARTS courses rely heavy on scope and sequence; therefore all assignments MUST be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to make up work missed due to absence. Students will be expected to attend online and tutorial class REGULAR basis. There will be NO due date extensions on projects if students DO NOT maintain regular attendance (unless excused). Students should anticipate spending additional time outside of classroom sessions to complete the work assigned. Studio is open lunch and after school daily. Students need to request time with Ms.Trujillo (We have to follow Covid School Protocols).

PROFICIENCY SCALE:
LITERACY AND NUMERACY FOCUS:
B.C.’s redesigned curriculum supports deep learning through concept-based and competency driven approaches. In addition to the Core Competencies and the Arts Education curricular competencies, emphasizes literacy and numeracy as skills interwoven throughout all learning areas.
While literacy and numeracy are commonly associated with language arts and math, thinking and communication skills are applied to all areas of learning, as described by the curricular competencies. Being numerate and literate are essential aspects of the educated citizen.

DIGITAL PORTFOLIO (SPACES by MyBlueprint):
The visual arts program will be using MyEdBC and Microsoft 365 Teams. As well, students will use SPACES (by MyBlueprint) to communicate learning, self-reflect and assessment. Students will be asked to document their work and complete self-assessment weekly using SPACES. Student can access their SPACES account using their school district login credentials (ex. student.name@surreyschools.ca and password). Students will be able to use FreshGrade through the online portal.. Parents will be sent an invite and will be able to see student assessment and assignments using the SPACES Parent online portal.
CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
- BE ON TIME to class! There will be entrance and exit activities DAILY!
- IF AWAY, students must make up missed work. Visit the class website for missed lessons and sketchbook assignments.
- Bring your art supplies daily! Be prepared to work at the start of class.
- No use of others ideas, images, paintings or drawings as they are already the creation/idea of another artist. The use of other people’s work is PLAGIARISM! Students will need to demonstrate progress DAILY!

- NO FOOD or beverages (unless it has a lid) are permitted in the classroom during instructional time. Students will NOT be allowed to leave the classroom to use the cafeteria or vending machines, as we have a NO FOOD policy in the art classroom during instructional time. Please plan accordingly if you required food or drink (special circumstances are an exception).
- Clean-up after yourself! At the end of class students need to clean-up their studio space and materials. Students will also need to put away their artwork and sketchbook in the assigned space.
- Don't touch others projects or supplies without permission.
- Try your BEST!
CLASS CELLPHONE POLICY:
You can ONLY use your cellphones for research, work documentation and assessment during Studio Time! Student who break the rules will be warned first. If warnings do not work, and email home and phone privileges will be lost. If it continues administration will be contacted. We have a class set of iPads available for students to use for research and FreshGrade. Do’s: You can listen to music (commit to a playlist/NO surfing for songs), take pictures of your artwork, and look up image resources for project ideas you are working on. Don’ts: Play games, call, text or message, use social media, and take selfies or pictures of other students in the class.
ART SUPPLY STORE:
MUST BRING ART SUPPLIES (items with an asterisk*) to EVERY class… NO EXCEPTIONS!!
*Pencils (HB, 2B (or 3B) and 5B), *eraser, *sketchbook, *fine tip black felt pen (fine tip sharpie is a good option for beginners. A Fine Tip Micron is recommended for more advanced students), and *pencil crayons (Crayola pencil crayons are a good option for beginners. Prisma pencil crayons are recommend for more advanced students).
Sketchbooks are 30% of the student’s grade. Under regular circumstances, we recommended to get a coil bound sketchbook with over 100-150 pages (8.5x11). Due to the shortness of the course, students could also purchase a smaller sketchbook (50+ white pages 8.5X11). Students will work on their sketchbooks on a daily basis. Students can also use sketchbooks from a previous art class.
Students health and safety is our primary concern! We encouraged students to bring their own supplies to their tutorial, such as a ruler, scissors, glue, felts, etc. We have some of these supplies in the classroom, but families need to be aware that multiple students will have access to them and materials won't sanitized. Students are responsible to sanitize any shared supplies. The program will supply students with project paper, acrylic paint and specialty materials (clay, clay tools, inks, etc.). We will also have brushes that will be shared with their class. If students don’t want to share brushes, they are welcome to bring their own.
