Things you should know about Art History
Ms. Marino
AP ART HISTORY vs. ART HISTORY There is little difference between the two sections.
You will be using the same text book, and for the most part, have the same
assignments. However, as a new rule this year, if you are enrolled in the AP
section, you MUST take the AP test come May, with no exceptions.
COLLEGE LEVEL CURRICULUM As most of
you are upper-classman, I expect much more. You will be given instructions for
assignments, and a due date. It is your responsibility to complete all required
tasks on time. I will not follow you around, nor will I continually ask you for
projects. You are an adult, and you are responsible for your class work.
CALENDAR Each
Friday, you will receive a calendar with your assignments for the upcoming
week. I do this so you can pace yourself and know what will be expected.
HOMEWORK There will be homework. It is up to you to hand
it in on time. I do not give homework to waste your time, each assignment is
important. You must put in the effort, as there are only so many days we are in
the classroom, and a great amount of information needs to be covered.
SKETCHBOOKS This is a way to bridge your art with historical
art pieces. When each assignment will be given to you, it is your
responsibility to research and develop the ideas. You will have about one week to hand in the
assignment, so you need to manage your time wisely.
ORGANIZATION As we will be covering a
large amount of material throughout the next few months, you must stay
organized! It will make all of our lives easier. Make sure everything goes into
your binder in the order that I hand it out. Bring your binder to class every
day, as you will almost always be receiving a handout.
CLASS PARTCIPATION This class is
a lot more interesting when I am not the only one doing all of the talking.
Join in, and discuss! Each day in
the classroom is significant! If you are absent, it is your responsibility to
make up any class work, and hand in the homework the following day.
KEEP AN OPEN MIND I encourage you to talk
to one another about the artwork, please keep any discussions respectful,
mature, and informative.
PLAGERISM Any form of plagiarizing is prohibited. This
includes copying from another student, the textbook, or from the internet, or
any other source. As per the student handbook, the assignment will result in a
zero. You are only cheating yourself. Do NOT do this!
I know that this seems like an overwhelming
amount of information and material, and there will be a decent amount of work
for this course, but I am very excited to teach it, and I think it will be a
wonderful experience for all involved.
