HS Art Teacher
Students new to art at high school level should take Art Foundation. Students will progress through a year’s course in Art Intermediate I, and/or Art Intermediate II and/or Art Intermediate III in order to build up their skill level and repertoire in working with a variety of mediums. Students aiming to take Advanced Placement-level art should successfully complete Art Intermediate III. Finally, a one-year CollegeBoard audited Advanced Placement (AP) course in AP 2-D Art and Design, AP 3-D Art and Design or AP Drawing is offered for students approved by the art teacher. Students can take multiple courses of AP Studio Art, but must submit a different stream of portfolio for each submission. Studio Intensive is offered as well to students after they have completed AP Studio Art.
Students build on their foundation skills. Media such as pastels, printing, and acrylic techniques will be explored allowing students to broaden their skills. The course includes design as well as fine art. The course is structured in a way that the theme or medium is set by the teacher, but students will be encouraged to explore units in a more personal and independent way. Students will have opportunities to work collaboratively as well as to connect with other subjects. Students will maintain an e-portfolio which will document their work, explain their decisions and reflect on their progress.
This course is designed for students who have a strong desire to develop their skills and understanding of fine art. Students will focus on developing strong technical skills and a deep understanding of artistic concepts. A focus on art theory and composition will enable students to produce more sophisticated work. The Elements of Art and Principles of Design will be targeted and applied to develop composition skills. Techniques will include dry, wet and digital media. Regular group critiques will enable students to reflect on their progress. This course is aimed at those who have a strong interest in art and who are considering taking Advanced Placement Studio Art.
This course is for grade 12 students with a strong interest and ability in art who have already taken AP Studio Art but wish to continue their art education at a high level so they can develop their portfolio of work for entry to an Art & Design university course. Students will work largely independently with some teacher guidance to deepen their artistic practice.
The Advanced Placement Studio Art Program is an externally assessed course for motivated and capable Art students. Students will be expected to fulfill course requirements and will submit the 2-D design (painting, printmaking, digital design, photography) portfolio for this AP course. Students will develop their skills to a high level in terms of technique and concept. They are required to demonstrate the skills of experimentation, practice and revision throughout their Sustained Investigation Portfolio. To meet the CollegeBoard requirements, students will submit a portfolio that consists of 15 artworks, and which must be completed for submission by early May. Students will then select 5 artworks to be assessed as Selected Works by the College Board.
