The Advanced Placement Studio Art course is aligned with the requirements for granting college credit, through The College Board. This course is designed for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. The full year course can be taken for one or two periods and is open to students who meet the following pre-requisite criteria:
Foundations in Studio Art plus three art electives or Foundations of Studio Art and two art electives, with a teacher recommendation.
This full-year one period course earns five credits (the two period course earns ten credits) towards graduation.
AP Studio Art addresses three major concerns that are constants in the teaching of art: a sense of quality in a student’s work, the student’s concentration on a particular visual interest or problem, and the student’s need for breadth of experience in the formal, technical, and expressive means of the artist.
AP work should reflect these three areas of concern: quality, concentration and breadth.
Students will develop an Advanced Portfolio in conjunction with the Open Studio Advanced Art class. The AP portfolio usually requires two years of preparation. And, it is strongly suggested that students start in their junior year in order to complete the breadth of work required of the AP art student.
The assessment of skills and knowledge in AP Studio Art is not based on a written examination; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation, at the end of the school year. Each student in the AP Studio Art course will be expected to produce either a 2-D, 3-D, or drawing portfolio, for review by The College Board.
