ADVANCED PLACEMENT STUDIO ART (12) & STUDIO ART (11)
STUDENT GOALS:
- AP and IS students experience a college level art course helping them to become comfortable with the demands and rigors of a college level Art program. Students become comfortable with Art Criticism and Art production at a demanding/college level pace.
- AP and IS Students gain needed skills with experimentation, practice and production in a variety of media. AP and IS students begin to find their artistic voice and style while learning how art impacts the community.
- Students identify working artists in their community and begin to recognize ways they may want to express themselves in their career choices.
- AP students may gain college credit or advanced placement in college level art courses.
- IS students prepare for AP and portfolio submission in the following years, giving them more then one year to develop their own style and depth or work.
- AP and IS students build a strong portfolio for admittance to college programs. Students discover what art programs they would like to study in college.
AP STUDENTS WILL CHOOSE BETWEEN SUBMISSION OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THREE PORTFOLIOS TO THE AP COLLEGE BOARD IN MAY 2016: Students that have taken both INDEPENDENT STUDY and AP STUDIO ART may choose to submit two portfolios.
1. DRAWING POTFOLIO
2. 2-D PORTFOLIO (any 2D media including graphic design, collage, painting, drawing, batik, weaving, mixed media)
3. 3-D POTFOLIO (ceramics, sculpture using variety of mediums)
1. DRAWING POTFOLIO
2. 2-D PORTFOLIO (any 2D media including graphic design, collage, painting, drawing, batik, weaving, mixed media)
3. 3-D POTFOLIO (ceramics, sculpture using variety of mediums)
EACH PORTFOLIO HAS THREE SECTIONS:
1. QUALITY (submission of what the student considers their 5 best works) Quality refers to the understanding of design issues that should be apparent in the concept, composition and execution of the works, whether they are simple or complex. There is no preferred (or unacceptable) style or content.
2. BREADTH (range of approaches 12 images of 12 different works or 3D 8 works showing 2 different views 16 photos) The student’s work in this section should demonstrate understanding of the principles of design, including unity/variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm, repetition, proportion/scale and figure/ground relationship. Successful works of art require the integration of the elements and principles of design; students must therefore be actively engaged with these concepts while thoughtfully composing their art. The work in this section should show evidence of conceptual, perceptual, and expressive development, as well as technical skill.
3. CONCENTRATION (sustained investigation 12 images some of which may be details of same works) A concentration is a body of related works that demonstrate a student’s sustained and thoughtful investigation of a specific visual idea. It is not a selection of a variety of works produced as solutions to class projects or a collection of works with differing intents. Students should be encouraged to explore a personal, central interest as intensively as possible; they are free to work with any idea in any medium that addresses two-dimensional design or three dimensional design issues. The concentration should grow out of the student’s idea and demonstrate growth and discovery through a number of conceptually related works. In this section, the evaluators are interested not only in the work presented but also in visual evidence of the student thinking, selected method of working and development of the work over time. Students are encouraged to include images that document their processes of thinking and creating.
See below three examples of Drawing or 2D portfolios all that scored highest rating of 5. ( range is 1-5) Remember how you score is not all that important. What matters most is that you find your voice, learn to be a creative thinker and problem solver, and continue to grow.
( these are not from our school) but by May 2016 we will have our own to post.
