Course Description

Studio Art Honors  

This class is designed for the art student planning on studying visual art in college. In the fall semester, students will compile a competitive portfolio of work and become familiar with the portfolio review process. Students will also complete works of art necessary for their individual needs. The spring semester will be an interactive independent study, where students will share their talents through community service and curate gallery exhibits. Students are encouraged to continue on to AP Studio Art in their senior year. 

AP Studio Art  

AP Studio Art is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. The course is dedicated to the process of creating and submitting a breadth and concentration portfolio in 2-D Design, 3-D Design, or Drawing for evaluation by the AP board and for college submission. Students attend National Portfolio Day each November and also curate art shows in the school community.  AP Studio Art students can participate in a WE.org Service component, which adds in a service-based learning framework that helps students identify local priorities and translate classroom learning into hands-on innovation and problem solving. A student who completes the WE.org Service component will earn recognition that will appear on AP score reports and transcripts.
