These courses teach students to understand and use the elements and principles of design in art production through a variety of media, processes and visual resources.
This course is a prerequisite for taking AP Art or for those serious art students who want to take their skills to the next level. It involves students creating their own artwork with unique concepts, techniques, and processes of their choosing. Much of the work is self-motivated and independently driven. There are many critiques and peer reviews during this course to help guide the student toward their artistic goals.
*See Mr. Pruett for recommendation.
AP Art Studio Course will motivate and encourage students to initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problems independently. The discussion of diverse solutions to specific artistic problems will enhance student effectiveness in creating relationships between structural choices and artistic functions. Through these challenges, students will assemble a body of artwork that demonstrates a high level of quality and growth over time of content, technique, and process. Students will develop mastery in concept, composition, and execution while addressing their portfolios: Students will submit this body of work to the College Board for grading and possible college credit.
