Ms. Livoti’s Rules and
Procedures for making AP Drawing the BEST class of
your high school career
Concepts and Objectives
• Mastery of concepts, composition, and execution of personal ideas and themes. • Art making is an on- going process that uses your own critical artistic decisions to determine outcomes• Develop your technical skills and use of the elements and principals of design• Become an independent thinker- formulaic solutions to problems are discouraged!
High quality work is expected and it is assumed that all work from this course will be included in AP Exam Portfolios.
3 Exam Parts:
QualityConcentrationBreadth
+ written commentary
Breadth work will presented to you as units of study, where you will use a variety of mediums, techniques and approaches to develop your concepts and ideas.
Critiques will be on-going. You will have in-progress check ins/critiques.
Individual conferences will be used to help you develop your concentration portfolio and discuss progress.
Copyright issues: all work must be original! If you use someone else’s work/published image as a basis for a piece there must be a significant alternation for it to be considered original.
3 LATES= 1 UNEXCUSED ABSENCE24 ABSENCES = LOSS OF CREDIT
FOR THE COURSE
•You will get a cut card written up after your 3rd late. •Arrive to class on time and begin our your do-now, or set up your workspace•Passes are for using the restroom only. One person is allowed out at a time, you may not leave during lessons, demos or critiques. You will be considered absent if you leave the room for an extended period of time. •It is YOUR responsibility to make up missed work if you are absent.•Extra help is available.
Reminder #1: You are an AP Student who is either in 11th or 12th grade.
Reminder #2: Behavior should not be an issue.
If behavior is an issue, it will be handled according to school policy.
You will receive a phone call home, you may meet with the Department Chairperson, you may have to meet with an Assistant Principal or the Principal.

Project RequirementsLet’s make things easy to remember:
1. Any work done in this course is technically part of an EXAM. If you leave exam questions blank on a test do you get points for that question? No.
2. If you’re not prepared with work to show me when necessary due dates and check points occur: Your grade is a Zero.
In this course, a COMPLETED artwork that has been turned in on the due date may be re-submitted for re-evaluation if you choose to significantly improve the artwork upon the teachers critical recommendation.
If your artwork is missing or unfinished on the due date/checkpoint....see #2.
BRACE YOURSELF
CLASS RULES ARE COMING
Be Prepared Everyday!
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY
SHOW UP WITHOUT A PENCIL
You know I love a good snack, however, you may not eat during class.It hinders your work ethic, can
potentially ruin an artwork, takes away from your work time, and makes the
room messy.
DON’T EAT DURING CLASS
Cell phone policy:
You must sign the technology agreement to use your phone only for artistic purposes.
If your phone is out, or being used for a non-art purpose it will be taken
away.Your parents will get a
phone call home.Repeat cell phone
offenders will find their phone in the main office
at the end of the day where your parents will
have to pick it up.
Be attentive and respectful
YOUR HORRIBLE ATTTITUDE REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO
HELP YOU.
Don’t write on school property. If you feel like drawing put it on paper.
NOT SURE IF TAKING NOTES IN BINDER
OR DOODLING ON THE DESK THE WHOLE TIME
Don’t touch objects in the room that do not belong to
you
PRESSES ONE BUTTON ON PRINTER
MENUS ARE STUCK IN RUSSIAN
If you want to leave on time, help clean up the room...even if it wasn’t your mess.
IT’S 5 MINUTES UNTIL END OF CLASS
CLEAN UP ALL THE MESS!
Don’t EVER throw away an artwork without Ms. Livoti’s approval!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU ALREADY THREW IT OUT?
You are walking through the door of the art room as one of the BEST OF THE BEST! You’re here for a reason. OWN IT!
Don’t get scared or worried about making art, or what it will look like. You’re beyond that. Confidence is KEY to
success in this class.
Unfortunately we don’t have time to practice too much in here, you have to produce work that will have a strong result. You have to take control and put in the effort.
Stay calm and work hard at each project! Don’t let yourself get frustrated. There’s more than one solution so
find one that works for you! ALSO, TRY NEW THINGS!
Give your teacher and classmates your personal best so they may achieve theirs. Motivate each other to do better!
This is NOT a contest. This class is a TEST for everyone! You have 25 other resources, use them as you would use
your notes in an open book test.
Don’t cheat at art by letting someone do something for you. You’re being tested on your ability to show off your
personal style!
