ADVANCED AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT STUDIO ART: 2-D DESIGN Credit 1 unit Recommended Prerequisites Honors Visual Arts (Proficient) and Honors Visual Arts (Advanced) Note: It is recommended that Honors Visual Arts (Advanced) be taken the semester before Advanced Placement Studio Art. Advanced Placement Studio Art: 2-D Design is a rigorous, experiential course which results in the creation of a portfolio containing five actual works and twenty-four slides using a variety of art forms. The works in the portfolio must exhibit proficiency in three categories: quality, breadth, and concentration. Students are required to work outside the classroom and beyond scheduled periods. In addition, students may be asked to provide their own materials depending on their choice of media. At the end of the course the student’s portfolio will be evaluated by the College Board. In this manner, students may possibly earn course exemption and/or credit at the college/university of their choice.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Students in Advance Art will work independently on the AP portfolio requirements to complete 15 autonomous works of art that demonstrate their understanding of a sustained investigation through design in 2D while applying knowledge and skill of various media.
2. If a student is taking Advance Art and does not wish to take AP in the future, that student is required to work on design problems assigned by me.
3. Advanced/AP Art Students are to turn in proposals for a sustained investigation to include idea and thumbnails of ideas.
*Advance/AP Students are required to participate in critiques and current event readings and discussions to broaden their understanding of art issues in today’s wo.rld. Please check out Art News Articles on the Home Page tab
