THIS CLASS PREPARES STUDENTS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF AN AP 3D PORTFOLIO. 3D SKILLS AND MASTERY ARE
FURTHER DEVELOPED THROUGH CLASS LESSONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. QUALITY WORKS FROM THE STUDENT’S
SKETCHBOOK OR FROM CLASS PROJECTS MAY BE USED AS PART OF THE AP 3D PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION.

Welcome to Art I 3D!
3D Studio Art I Class Review: Projects will reflect your use and knowledge of the Elements and
Principles of 3D Design as discussed for each lesson. The Elements and Principles are added
sequentially during the term. Do not think that you cannot use an element or principle we have already
studied as you develop your work. Smaller studies will be done in your sketchbook, as well as class
work related to techniques, and your project ideas. Writing and Research about art and artists will also
be placed in your sketchbook or art folder.
Course Description 0101330: Students explore how space, mass, balance, and form combine to create
art forms or functional products and structures. Student artists consider the relationship of scale
through the use of positive and negative space volume, visual weight, and gravity. Student artists use
an art criticism process to evaluate, explain, and measure artistic growth in personal or group works.

GRADING / RUBRIC
Students will discuss, and critique personal art and artists’ works using a variety of methods including
personal art making, verbal and written critiques, reading / researching about art, and using
technological and / or printed resources to investigate the visual arts.

General Criteria for Grading:
1. Personal and thoughtful preparation and planning
2. Evidence of imagination and innovation
3. Care in craftsmanship and execution
4. Project meets assignment goals
5. Mastery of art skills / techniques and appropriate use of art media
6. Serious, focused effort by student demonstrating personal vision
7. Self and class critiques
8. Sketchbook development of ideas and research for projects
9. Assignment is completed on time and turned in for teacher evaluation

Mini Rubric: Work Quality in Concept & Execution:
1. Poor 3. Moderate 5. Strong
2. Limited 4. Good 6. Excellent

Numerical Grade:
Excellent: 100 – 95 Good: 84 – 75 Limited: 64 – 60
Strong: 94 – 85 Moderate: 74 – 65 Poor: 59-0

Grading is based on a point system. Each assignment will have specific criteria, which the student must meet.
Project assignments are assigned points – 100 – 600 pts. Research / Inquiry / Sketchbook work is also
assigned points as related to each assignment. Sketchbook works may be graded as PROJECTS.

3D PROJECTS: Projects will address specific spatial problems as related to 3D ISSUES

FOCUS – 3D ISSUES: ENGAGEMENT with SPACE USING a range of design principles: Unity, Variety, Balance,
Emphasis Contrast Rhythm, Repetition, Proportion / Scale, Occupied/Unoccupied Space
Preliminary studies will be completed in the sketchbook or work kept in an art folder / portfolio. We will use
multiple online resources including an Art Facebook page and the Class Pinterest Boards:
http://pinterest.com/artzheart/, as well as class resource books, videos, and/or visuals / EXEMPLARS.

CLASS ART STUDIO: Others use the same space to work. PLEASE make sure to leave your work area clean at
the end of class. Take a last look before you leave class to make sure everything is in order and you have all
your supplies returned to the correct place. This is part of your studio practice / responsibilities.

The Elements and Principles of 3D Design:
The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a
work of art.

How we apply the principles of design determines how successful we are in
creating a work of art.


Elements of 3-D Design
1. Space: distance, area, volume; physical space independent of what occupies it; absolute
space.
2. Line: the edge or outline of a form, the meeting of planes; linear materials include: wire,
wood, metal rod, string or any materials with a long thin shape.
3. Plane: a flat or level surface –– planar materials include foam core, cardboard, sheet metal,
plastic sheets, and plywood.
4. Mass/ Volume: closed, independent, three dimensional form –– completely surrounded by
space –– volumetric materials include blocks of plaster, wood or stone. Sometimes mass refers
to a positive solid and volume refers to a negative, open space surrounded by material, as in a
bowl or other vessel.
5. Shape: positive and negative: positive shape is the totality of the mass lying between its
contours; in three-dimensional work, the visible shape or outer limit of a form changes as the
viewer's position is changed. These outer limits are seen as shapes moving back and forth
between major contours.
6. Negative space: is empty space defined by positive shape.
Sometimes referred to as occupied and unoccupied space.

 ART I 3D COMPREHENSIVE SYLLABUS 2018 – 2019 / KEEP IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!

7. Value: light and shadows on the surface of forms; quantity of light actually reflected by an
object's surface; value changes might be affected by the addition of color to the surface of a
work.
8. Texture: the surface quality of a form –– rough, smooth, weathered and so on.
9. Color: in 3D design, the actual color of the material being used.

Principles of 3-D Design

1. Harmony: resolution of forces in opposition.
2. Contrast/ Variety: different qualities or characteristics in a form; interest generated in a
work by using a variety of shapes, forms, textures and so on.
3. Rhythm/ Repetition: rhythm is the result of repetition; three rhythmic devices include:
A. the duplication of the same form
B. two forms used alternately; and
C. the sequential change of a form (large to small, for example.)
4. Emphasis: something in the work must dominate. A high point or climax occurring in the
work, or the domination of a motif or design element.
5. Continuity: organized movement or rhythm (repetition, alteration and progression).
6. Balance: ordered relationship of parts whether symmetrical or asymmetrical; equilibrium.
· Symmetrical Balance: equal visual units right and left/ top to bottom of an imaginary center
point.
· Asymmetrical Balance: visual balance achieved by dissimilar visual units; for example, two or
three small shapes on the right balancing one larger shape on the left.
7. Proportion / Scale: elements compared, one to another, in terms of their properties of size,
quantity, and degree of emphasis.

where they belong when you are done working, and leave your work area / sink / counters clean.
3. Commit to doing your best! Arrive to class on time, prepared and ready to work. Use class time efficiently.
Turn your work in on time. If you are absent, make arrangements to complete your work.
4. You may even work before official class starts and come visit anytime you are free to create ☺
5. Get out of your comfort zone and take a risk as you create. Work = BE PASSIONATE IN YOUR WORK!
(i.e., Work ethic, sketchbooks, homework, research, dialogue, critiques, studio practice / clean up, class
participation, and final projects).
6. Communicate good news, bad news, important news, and any pertinent information that would affect your
work or class participation. I am here to cheer you on, to listen, to help, to advocate for you, and to make any
situation workable, but you must COMMUNICATE with me. Ask me questions if something is not clear or you
need help. Let me know of any problems.
7. Keep your CELL PHONE off and away during class unless we are doing a class activity that requires you to
research on your phone. ASK FIRST! I WILL SEND YOUR PHONE TO THE OFFICE FOR PARENT PICK UP IF IT IS OUT
WITHOUT PERMISSION. COMPUTERS ARE USED FOR RESEACRH AND CLASS WORK – NOT FOR GAMES OR OTHER
CLASSES’ WORK.
8. No food is allowed in class. This protects YOU AND YOUR artwork. If you have a drink, make sure you can close
it or it has a lid so it does not spill on your work.
9. Do not venture to the “Off Limits” areas of the art room without teacher permission, i.e., outside patio,

1. BOUND (book style) Sketchbook at least 8”x10”
2. Pencils
3. Masking Tape
4. Quality TAKLON Bristles Flat Paint Brush SET (4-6) for Glazing

Though I will have most supplies for you, you will be working with individually chosen media. If your
supplies of choice are not available in the class studio, you will be responsible for acquiring your own
materials of choice if you wish to work with other media not readily available in class.
Because CERTAIN 3D SUPPLIES are expensive:

*You are asked for a nominal supply donation of $15.00 to cover a portion of the QUALITY ART
