Goals For AP ArtGetting Started Day 1We will be setting up our online and in class room learning environment in the first days of class. You will want to bookmark the following:
Supplies For daily class you need your laptop and you also will need a sketchbook and number two pencil. The Sketchbook should have at least 100 pages and be book or spiral bound. 8.5" x 11" or 9" x 12" is a perfect size. You will probably want to purchase a better portfolio (cloth or vinyl) since we will be creating a lot of work in this course. Dick Blick, Artist and Display, Michael's are all good places to get art supplies. They may give you a student discount too, if you show your id. Download the following Word doc and complete it. You can print out and do by hand if you prefer. You may also digitally complete it. Make sure after you download you save to your own directory.
If doing by hand, give to me in class, making sure I can read your handwriting. If doing digitally print out the copy when you've finished filling it in and then hand to me. |
