FAQ- Frequently Asked QuestionsQ Whats the
difference between IB art and Studio Art since
they meet at the same time and both work
independently?
A Studio art students do not have to prepare an
extensive portfolio and do not have to meet with
an examiner in the spring. Both have to display
in the CAFÉ show. IB students can apply their
work for early college art credit?

Q How do you grade our workand do IB students
only get the grade that the examiner gives us?
A Your grades are based on what your goals are
and did you meet them. Since your year is set by
what you want to accomplish- I grade you on
whether you stuck with your goals and did you
meet or exceed them. IB students receive two
grades. One from me-and one from the examiner.

• Q Do you give regular assignments for in-class
  work and sketchbook assignments? How do we know
  what we are supposed to be doing?

A No!! I do not give assignments. You again
establish what you should be doing. If you have
trouble motivating youre self to work on a daily
basisyou may want to drop this course now! Just
be clear that you need to complete many pieces of
artwork. You may do as many as 50 pieces of work
only 20 might be of high quality to receive
credit.

• Q OKso what do I have to do to get started??

• A Start writing down what you want to do( clay,
  sculpture, drawing, painting, collage, mixed
  media etc) In two weeks I need a detailed plan.
  Very detailed. You will probably revise it two or
  three times. You will also start to write an
  artists statement. Then you will write me a
  supply list of what you need for the next two
  quarters.

• Q Cant I just make stuff? Art is just supposed
  to be funyou shouldnt have to think. Thinking
  is hard.
• A If you think that this applies to youyou
  probably want to drop this class ASAP. It
  couldnt be farther from the truth. Creating
  without previous knowledge and experienceis just
  like giving a monkey some paper and crayons. They
  are filling the page but dont have a clue. We
  must learn to borrow from the past to create the
  new.
