Welcome to Drawing and Painting with Ms. LivotiThis course includes two areas of study: development of conceptual approaches to drawing and painting and the exploration of materials and techniques. Drawing involves visual study of man-made and biomorphic forms, interior spaces, landscapes and the human figure using various drawing media and procedures. Painting is introduced through the study of watercolor, tempera and acrylic painting techniques. Traditional and current trends in drawing and painting will be viewed in classroom study and through visits to museums and galleries. This is a strong introduction to AP Art.

Concepts and Objectives Be able to draw and paint realistically from direct observation Be able to use wet and dry media proficiently in creating a work of art Be able to produce work demonstrating three dimensional illusion of space Be able to conceive and apply conceptual vision Be able to solve visual problems in a journal/sketchbook format

High quality work is expected and it is assumed that work from this course will be included in AP level portfolios.

New York State Learning Standards for Visual Art Creating, Performing and Participating in the arts: Students will actively engage in the process that

constitutes creation and performance in the arts and participate in various roles in the arts Knowing and Using Art Materials and Resources: Students will be knowledgeable about and make

use of the materials and resources available for participation in various roles Responding to and Analyzing Works of Art: Students will respond critically to a variety of works in

the arts, connecting the individual to other works and to other aspects of human endeavor and though

Understanding the Cultural Dimensions and Contributions of the Arts: Students will develop an understanding of the personal and cultural forces that shape artistic communication and how the arts in turn shape the diverse cultures of past and present society.

GradingClass work/Projects………………………………………………………………………………………65%Test/Quiz (at least 1 per marking period…………..……………………….…………….….15%Homework/Paper/Research/Prepared…………………………………………………..…….10%Class Participation (Sketchbook, critique, do nows, punctuality)…………………..10%

Class Deadlines All projects will have reasonable deadlines, which will be announced well in advance. Students will have a class calendar/syllabus to keep track of assignment due dates. Students will have full class periods to work, as well as extra help periods and by request, work

may be taken home once the students individual project need has been evaluated by the teacher.

Tests/Quizzes are the responsibility of the student to make up before school.

Project Deadlines: WORK THAT IS A WEEK LATE RECEIVES A ZERO .

Homework Deadlines: STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAND IN A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT ON THE DAY IT IS DUE RECIEVES A ZERO FOR THE ASSIGNMENT. Partial credit will be given if work is handed in but not entirely complete. Most homework assignments will be completed in your sketchbook.

Class Participation/ Effort Do Now assignments will be graded and counted towards your effort/participation grade. Your notes will be checked and graded towards your effort/participation grade. Participating in critiques will count towards your effort/participation grade. You will receive a ZERO for the day for being unprepared for class. Arriving to class on time, working for the full class period, and following district attendance policies

will positively affect your participation grade. Participating by answering questions, setting up supplies or cleaning up will positively affect your

grades

Class Rules/Procedures Bring your art sketchbook to class on a daily basis. Coming unprepared will result in a loss of points

from your effort/participation grade. Supplies may be left in the classroom. NHP Cell Phone/iPod/mp3 Policy: Do NOT use your device in class. The first time you are found to

be using your device in the classroom it will be confiscated and given to an assistant principal. The second time= 3 detentions. Each time after=in school suspension (part of your permanent record).

Art Department Cell Phone Policy: You are permitted to use your phone for the use of taking reference photos, or looking up related reference images for project use only. You must sign the Art Department Cell Phone agreement. Phones may not be used at any other time or for any other purpose.

No purses, book bags, textbooks or binders from other classes are allowed on the tables. Any food item or drink other than a water bottle must be kept in the front of the room until the

end of the class period. You never know when I may surprise you with a treat for all your hard work!

No iPods/headphones! We will be allowed to work while listening to music, but it is a privilege that is earned.

Immediately begin the do now or weekly sketchbook assignment. Be attentive and respectful to your classmates and teacher during all lessons, demos, and critiques. Actively participate in discussions and note taking, but please raise your hand if you would like to

be heard. Offer constructive feedback during a critique, or even when it’s not critique time. Be courteous and respectful towards your teacher, classmates, artwork, the art room and supplies

in it. Do not touch objects and supplies in the art room with out permission, stay clear of printer,

printing press, and do not go into art supply closet or art office. Use materials appropriately! Use mature and appropriate behavior in the art room. Ask for a scrap paper before you decide to draw or scratch into the tables. 5 minutes before the end of the period, help with cleaning the room. Students are responsible for

cleaning their personal supplies and maintaining the quality of our supplies. Everyone must help clean his or her own table. You are responsible for materials on the floor around your table as well.

Stay in your seat while working unless the project allows for you to stand. Walking around is distracting and can cause accidents. Do not stand up at the end of the period, or gather around the door.

Try your best and be positive about your work and experience in this class! NEVER, EVER THROW AWAY AN ARTWORK OR A SKETCH!!!!

A Word on Class Behavior …The art room is a very different kind of classroom. Art encourages students to become well rounded, culturally aware, and social individuals. If a students’ behavior interferes with the learning/creative process the following actions will be taken:

Verbal Warning > Parent notification (phone call home)> Referral to Department Chairperson, Mrs. Lennea > Referral to Assistant Principal

If there is a persistent problem, the student may be dropped from the class and re-scheduled the following quarter.

Every opportunity will be given to rectify the situation. It is my intention to provide a meaningful art experience for everyone.
