This quarter the Advanced AP Portfolio students take their first steps toward developing their individual areas of concentration. They will be completing homework assignments each week as well as activities designed to help them find a focus for the concentration section of their portfolios. In addition to their work out side the studio they will be completing studio assignment designed to help them develop the breadth section of their portfolio.
This week they will take a close look at the Persian Miniature and use it as a resource for their own interpretation of this style of painting. They will also create a digital portfolio for their work on the school server and will move their best five images from the first quarter into it.

Grade 10 November 1-5, 2010
Thank you, to all the Grade 10 students, parents and teachers who made the Thursday night Lock-in a success. Good progress was made on the library rainforest mural and in the process we had lots of fun. Some of us even got a little sleep. It was so much fun and so much work was accomplished we are already looking forward to the next one. If you haven't see our progress please stop by and take a look.
Back in the classroom we will be finishing the mask project and beginning an art history unit. We will start at the beginning. Cave painting and the "Birth of Art".

Grade 9 November 1-5, 2010
This week grade nine students will begin working on two projects simultaneously. They are making good progress on their altered book project and will continue to work on it while they begin their logo design project. Both projects have steps that require "waiting time" between processes. By working on both projects they will make the best use of their studio time and learn about "multi-tasking".
They will need:
Cereal boxes or similar type flexible cardboard
Heavier corregated cardboard - large squares about 15x18 inches
