All students enrolled in this course are required to meet or exceed all criteria set by the College Board Advance Placement Program, Princeton, NJ. AP Studio Art is intended for students who are seriously interested in a major in the field of art or are planning a continued study of art following high school. The studio work is geared toward the creation of a portfolio over two semesters. Part one is teacher-directed assignments to cover breadth of media and subject. Part two is individualized for specific media and/or subject. A investigative workbook is required, as well as summer homework assignments. During the first week of school, students will be required to submit the summer portfolio assignments for a class critique. Students must be willing to do extensive additional work on their own. Students will need to purchase their own materials depending on their studio choices. A student fee is charged for this course for expendable materials. Students will submit digital images of their work for their AP Exam in May.
