Art & Design, AP

AP Studio Art is based on the serious practice of art, and students are required to submit a complete portfolio to earn the additional quality point. The course addresses three major areas: high quality in the student’s art products; concentration on a particular visual interest or problem; and breadth of experience in the formal, technical, and expressive means of producing art. The students will engage in the creative and systematic investigation of formal and conceptual issues, understand the making of art as an ongoing process that requires informed and critical decision making, and develop technical skills and familiarity with the functions of the visual elements.
