What is A.P. Studio Art?

• Advanced placement art is designed for
  students who are serious about art. At the
  completion of the course a portfolio is sent to
  the College Board to be scored. Many colleges
  give credit for a score of 3 or better.

What is A.P. Studio Art?

• This is a very structured course. Our
  goal is for all students to succeed. The first
  year is all assigned work and the second year is
  monitored closely by the teacher. This is not a
  course where the student gets to do whatever
  they want. It requires a great deal on
  discipline on the part of the students.

What are the benefits of A.P. Art?

• Individualized Instruction
• Great opportunity for artistic growth
• Impressive body of work
• Sense of accomplishment
• College Credit

What will you accomplish in A.P.Art?

• In A.P. Art you will create a portfolio of
  20 high quality pieces. 12 will be made for the
  breadth section. 8 drawings will be for the
  concentration section. From these 20 we will
  choose 5 pieces for the quality section.

Concentration

• The second year of AP art the student
  chooses a concentration . This is a body of 8
  drawings that are tied together either by a
  theme, subject matter or a technical concern.

Kim did a concentration based on her kitchen.

Concentration

• These are a just few examples from three
  concentrations. The possible subjects for a
  concentration are vast. At the beginning of the
  second year the student and the teacher choose a
  subject for the student to work on the entire
  year.

Breadth

• The Breadth section is a series of 12
  assignments designed to demonstrate a variety of
  skills and knowledge. All first year students do
  the same assignments. The work from Drawing and
  Painting is also part of this section.

• This next set of drawings are examples of

• The final example from the breadth section
  is an assignment to draw a word using 2 point
  perspective letters. The background needs to add
  to the meaning of the word.

• Hopefully by looking at all these examples
  you can see that despite the fact that the
  students have the same assignment there is still
  a lot of room for individual interpretation.
