AP STUDIO ART
AP STUDIO ART AP Studio Art portfolios are devised for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. Students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year rather than complete a formal written exam. Through the studio class, students are involved in creative and systematic investigation of formal and conceptual issues, informed decision making, art techniques, and the functions of the visual elements. Students are required to investigate all three aspects of the portfolio: Quality, Concentration, and Breadth.
Through direct teacher instruction, students begin the course the first semester by working on their Breadth section allowing them to experiment with media and concepts such as black and white, use of color, wet and dry, techniques and drawing methods such as point, weighted line, contour, continuous line, wash and value. Students are expected to develop mastery (quality) in concept, composition as well as execution of drawing elements and principles. Students will be expected to use a variety of concepts and approaches to demonstrate personal ideas and themes. Students will also understand that art making is an ongoing process that uses informed and critical decision making to determine outcomes to problems. |
