AP 3-D Art & Design
AP Studio Art (3D) is a year-long, advanced level class designed to help you continue your artistic journey as you develop a portfolio of work suitable for submission for AP credit, as well as submission to art schools/universities for admissions consideration, and/or employers for internships/employment opportunities. This couse requires a high level of individual motivation, work ethic, and focused engagement for you to be successful. We will focus on solving visual problems creatively, generating high-quality meaningful artwork, reflecting on our own & others’ artwork, and participating constructively in critiques. Development and presentation of a final portfolio of work will be required to pass this course.

Projects
-
You will complete 3 projects per quarter, 6 for each semester. You may do more if you choose. 6 is the minimum.
-
You should not recreate any of the examples that are given.
-
Your subject, interpretation, composition, and media should all be original and authentic.
-
Work will be more intensive in both rigor and meaning-making, and therefore more difficult and time consuming to produce. Some of the problems will involve both working and reworking.
-
Higher level thinking/problem solving will factor heavily in this course. METACOGNITION—thinking about thinking will occur daily.
-
To allow for the higher level thinking, the art making pace, and the successful meeting of deadlines to occur, THERE MUST BE TIME SPENT WORKING ON ART OUTSIDE OF CLASS!
