This course has been developed for students who have the desire to complete either the AP Drawing Portfolio or the AP 2-D Design Portfolio. Students utilize a set of standards set for the class in which to gauge their progress and work toward their goal of completing a successful portfolio. These standards are based on standards set forth by the Advanced Placement Studio Art Course Description. Through direct teacher instruction, the student will create 15 quality pieces of art. Students will be challenged to develop their own personal work that shows a mastery of concept, composition and execution of their personal ideas and themes.
