MASTERY ARE FURTHER DEVELOPED THROUGH CLASS LESSONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. QUALITY WORKS FROM
THE STUDENT’S SKETCHBOOK OR FROM CLASS PROJECTS MAY BE USED AS PART OF THE AP DRAWING PORTFOLIO
SUBMISSION.

Course Description: Students work in a teacher / student directed environment to develop a portfolio showing a
body of works from class prompts that visually explore Drawing issues. Student Artists will work in varied
techniques of drawing, painting, printmaking, and/or mixed media that emphasize line quality, rendering of form,
light and shade, composition, surface manipulation, and/or illusion of depth. Students’ portfolios show personal
vision and artistic growth over time, mastery of technical art skills and techniques, and evidence of developed
problem-solving skills. Students are work towards readiness for high levels of critical thinking, research,
conceptual thinking, and creative risk-taking.
Students may work with traditional and non-traditional art media to explore visual drawing problems. Cultural
and Social Perspectives may be incorporated into projects, as well as art historical references, and symbolism.
Creative analog manipulation of traditional artwork may be explored with traditional media or through
experimentation and / or using Adobe Photoshop / Gimp or Digital techniques. WORK MAY BE CREATED
DIGITALLY – CLASS WACOM TABLETS / COMPUTERS, AND PHOTOSHOP MAY BE USED FOR DIGITAL DRAWING

Rendering of Form, Composition, Surface Manipulation, the Illusion of Depth, Mark Making Any drawing work
where you incorporates digital or photographic processes must address DRAWING ISSUES!

CLASS ART STUDIO: Others use the same space to work. PLEASE make sure to leave your work area clean at the
end of class. Take a last look before you leave class to make sure everything is in order and you have all your
supplies returned to the correct place. This is part of your studio practice / responsibilities’

DRAWING Classes SUPPLIES:
Many class project supplies are provided. YOU MUST HAVE A SKETCHBOOK SET OF SUPPLIES TO WORK OUT
YOUR IDEAS. This is a list of supplemental supplies that are REQUIRED for class. Please take care to LABEL ALL
your personal art supplies and keep them in your backpack at the end of each class.

SCHOLAR SETS, LOFTS ARTISTS’ SET, CRAYOLA)
7. Quality TAKLON Bristles Flat Paint Brush SET (4-8)
8. 14” x 20” Fiber Portfolio to store your work, as there are not any flat shelves large enough for your work to
be stored. YOU MAY MAKE A PORTFOLIO OUT OF POSTER BOARD OR CARDBOARD.
9. Your personal favorite art tools- Though I will have most supplies (QUALITY – Paints, paper, tools, etc.) for
you, you will be working with individually chosen media as you develop your work. If your supplies of choice are
not available in the class studio, you will be responsible for acquiring your own materials of choice if you wish to
work with other media not readily available in class.
10. 4GB or larger SD Card to document your work digitally and to save your work. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN SD
CARD YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE CLASS CAMERA OR WORK ON THE CLASS AP COMPUTERS DUE TO
STORAGE ISSUES. You may use your cell phone to document your work and save in Google Photos. Make sure
your image quality is set to high quality.
AKA the OLIVIA Addendum: You cannot use the teacher SD Card.

Because Class Art Supplies, (DRAWING PAPERS, OIL & ACRYLIC PAINT, INK, COLORED PENCILS, TOOLS, PRINTING
INKS, and special DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER, ETC.) are very expensive:
*You are asked for a nominal supply donation of $15.00 to cover a portion of the QUALITY ART SUPPLIES USED
FOR YOUR AP PORTFOLIO. * If you cannot afford the supplies speak to me privately. * If you are able to assist
another student, donations are accepted. *
