This course provides students who anticipate studying art at the postsecondary level the rigor and focus of a college level visual art course. Students enrolled in AP Studio Art will choose a 2-D, Drawing, or Sculpture concentration. A portfolio will be compiled throughout the school year demonstrating competency in the chosen concentration, depth of artistic expression, and breadth of artistic experience. The portfolio is sent to the AP Board for review with the potential for earned college credit. Students will expand on artistic concepts and themes in their personal work and will be required to create artist statements in which they articulate and defend artistic choices in their work. A fee is charged for consumable materials.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of at least two art courses, one of which must be an advanced level art course (Art III or Art IV)
