Portfolio Development

This course emphasizes individual investigation and mastery. Combining conceptual, critical, and creative thinking, students will propose various portfolio pieces and complete them within strict deadlines. Students will be restricted to work in mediums that they are well versed in by having already completed at least one advanced visual arts course (see requirements below). The body of this course will have students creating a dozen full portfolio pieces; students will research, develop thumbnails, create rough drafts, comprehensive betas, and a final piece. In order to successfully complete this course, students will have developed a broad and professional portfolio, worthy of granting them approval into AP Art.
