Embrace Your Creativity with the Visual Arts at Pinecrest High School!
Prerequisite: Beginning Art and Intermediate Art (or Beginning Art plus approval from instructor)
Taught by Mrs. Wilson
This is a year long course. AP (Advanced Placement) Studio Art is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation near the end of the school year. The AP Studio Art Program consists of three portfolios: AP Drawing, AP 2-D Art and Design, and AP 3-D Art and Design – corresponding to common college foundation courses. The portfolios have two sections: Sustained Investigation and Selected Works. This gives students time to focus on in-depth, inquiry-based art and design making; on skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas; and on articulating information about their work.
