The AP Studio Art course is for students interested in a rigorous and focused study in art. Students will develop a quality portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of concept, composition and execution in drawing or 2D design. This course is based on a student creating a body of work that demonstrates quality, concentration, and breadth. This portfolio will be submitted to the College Board for college credit. The course will meet for a full year on the academic model (8 meetings every two weeks). Students taking any college-level course will be expected to spend a considerable amount of time outside of class in order to complete homework and sketchbook assignments.
This course provides an overview of the content of the AP Studio Art portfolios in Drawing, Two-Dimensional Design, and Three-Dimensional Design. A variety of course structures will be considered and issues in drawing, 2D and 3D design, color, sculpture, and painting will be addressed in depth. Participants will follow individual course outlines for their own AP Program* syllabus and will, through simulated grading of sample portfolios, become familiar with AP grading standards and procedures. Attention will also be given to the preparation of artwork as well as the digital submission of the portfolio. Participants will leave with several textbooks and cloud access to all the handouts and generated materials. There will be homework after each lesson, culminating in an exhibit of participant artwork. Bring cameras to document the process and the exhibit.
The most effective way to prep: personalized one-on-one sessions with your custom-matched tutor.
