AP/IB Visual Art

In this class we create

a portfolio of work that students can use to apply for college art programs and earn college units by submitting to the AP Art Visual Portfolio or the International Baccalaureate Art Portfolio.  Students learn advanced drawing and painting techniques and also are guided in how to discover their own voice as artists.  We have some structured lessons where we learn new techniques and how to draw and paint from observation.  The big focus of the class though is to help students discover and develop their own unique individual body of work.  This is built around developing deep understanding of favorite media/material and the exploration of a personalized visual idea or concept.
