AP Art-2D DESIGN & AP Art-DRAWING
Course DescriptionAP Studio Art – 2D Design or Drawing - is a two or four semester course for mature, motivated students who have completed several prior foundational Art Courses and/or have received a teacher recommendation to be in the class. AP Art does not have a written exam, instead students are expected to create a strong 15 piece 2D design or Drawing portfolio to submit to the College Board in May. Completing the AP portfolio may result in Advanced Placement credit at the institution the student chooses to attend after High School, but does not guarantee it. It will, however, help the student to have a strong portfolio to submit for admissions and scholarship opportunities. This class will require intense focus and work - both in and out of class. In addition to developing a portfolio, students will be expected to photograph and catalogue images of their work, participate in critiques, keep an original visual reference file/sketchbook for developing ideas, study artists, art-movements and terminology. |

What do you enjoy most about making art?
"The journey. Each project takes many turns along the way; stimulating exploration, innovation, and discovery . . . doing things I would not otherwise have done or known to do. There is also the enjoyment of the tangible accomplishment of working with the hands to "make" ." |
Lately I am investigating the painting of landscapes. I want to create beautiful, calming, meditative places where anyone and everyone would find a peaceful, joyful, contemplative experience . . . for as long as you look at the piece.
I shall call this series, "Soul-scapes". |
