Course Description
Through studio practice, application of design concepts, and informed decision making, students will assemble a body of artwork that demonstrates a high level of quality and growth over time of content, technique, and process. For a variety of concepts and approaches to the Drawing, 2-D Design, or 3-D Design portfolios where students will demonstrate a range of abilities in problem-solving, the elements of art and principles of design, specific art mediums, art techniques, and content, look at assignments in the Course Overview for weeks 1–36. Students will develop mastery in concept, composition, and execution of Drawing, 2-D Design, or 3-D Design. Students will address the three components in their portfolios: quality, concentration, and breadth. Students will submit this body of work to the College Board for grading and possible college credit.
