Billy George: AP Drawing/Design

AP 2-D ART AND DESIGN - VA009 (AP2DDP)

Credit: 1
Grade:12
Prerequisite: Art III or Digital Art & Media III
Note: Instructor approval required
Materials fee: $31.00 & AP exam fee for portfolio submission

The focus of this course is the creation, development, and ultimately, submission of a unique, quality portfolio to the College Board after an in-depth exploration of media and completion of drawings which may include paintings, print-making, digital media, collage, and mixed media works. This class is designed for the art student who is seriously interested in immersing him or herself in a practical experience of art, creating a college art portfolio, and possibly considering advanced study of art at the college level. Advanced Placement Studio Art is not based on a written examination; instead students submit portfolios for evaluation in May. The portfolio is structured around a sustained investigation and a group of selected works. The 2D portfolio will include works in a wide and diversified range of areas including drawing, color design and computer graphic work. Students will be required to put additional time in projects outside of the classroom. In conjunction with the portfolio work students will develop works for exhibition and competition on regional, state and national levels. Grading will be based on participation and performance skills in addition to projects, assignments and final portfolio review.
