Students will also use digital imagery and computer technology in this course. Students in this course have the opportunity to earn 3 credits from Southern Connecticut State University.

Course Description: The Advanced Placement in Studio Art program enables highly motivated students to perform at the college level while still in high school. This college-level course adheres to the suggested College Board Curriculum. Students can choose one or both of the two portfolio types to submit for grading. Portfolio types are: Drawing Portfolio, and Two-Dimensional Design Portfolio. The AP Studio portfolio is a performance-based exam, rather than a written exam. Students are expected to pay for and submit their AP portfolio to the College Board in May for evaluation. Students will have to keep a sketchbook and do assignments the summer before taking this course. Learning Goals: As a result of Advanced Placement in Studio Art the student will submit a portfolio to College Board for AP Credit.

UCONN COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to foster an appreciation of the art of music, in particular Western “Art” Music, though we will study a few examples of non Western music, jazz and rock. This course falls within the Arts and Humanities Cont Area (1) of the General Education curriculum at the university, and thus provides a broad vision of artistic and humanistic themes.
