Advanced Placement Studio Art I (914)
1 Credit
Grades 11 – 12
Prerequisite: Portfolio Preparation and permission from the instructor
This course is intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Students will develop a concentration in this course. A concentration is a body of related works that demonstrate a student’s commitment to the 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 will 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 2D, 3D or drawing issues. The concentration should grow out of the student’s idea and demonstrate growth and discovery through a number of conceptually related works. Students will be evaluated on visual and written evidence of student’s thinking, their selected method of working, and development overtime. Students are expected to work in and outside the classroom and beyond scheduled periods. A portfolio will be submitted to the College Board for evaluation and possible college credit.
