Greetings Parents and Students!
SAM3 is a Non-Regents level course, it is designed to familiarize the student with the concepts, systems and the web of environmental interactions which contribute to the decay of architectural artifacts and how these artifacts can be restored/preserved. This course will be taught in a Semi-Cooperative Ed. setting while learning will exercise and reinforce Inquiry Based Skills. Although text books will be provided at times, students must maintain all printed material handed out during the school year while keeping an organized notebook. Course grades will be determined using a rubric rating system which will focus on examinations, group studies, individual performance, class participation and group presentations. You will be supplied with all rubric ratings and they will be clearly posted in the room. Further, as the year progresses, we will meet regularly to discuss your progress and grades.

Please keep in mind when photographing for the
“Armory Project” that people in a photograph are a distraction from the
architectural image unless otherwise intended.
Shoot multiple images of each idea, changing angles and lighting to
increase your chances of securing “the perfect picture”; it’s not like we can
go back and re-shoot…
Please feel free to photograph buildings,
sculptures, people, signs, general architectural artifacts anything that will
demonstrate your skills as a photographer with architectural interests. You may
shoot close up photos, but remember to back up and shoot the object in a
perspective view for comparison purposes.
HAVE A GREAT TIME AND STAY SAFE
