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.

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.

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.
