Drawing - AP Studio Art

 This course is designed for students who are interested in creating an AP Portfolio in Drawing. This course augments our curriculum by allowing an advanced level of exploration. In relation to the AP College Board curriculum, our area schools offer A, B. and C level courses in the following related subject area:  Drawing.

AP Studio art is for students who want to work independently and more in-depth. A strong interest and high level of self discipline are essential as students will be personally responsible for setting goals, problem-posing and solving, gaining skills and self-assessing. Opportunities for individual, partner, and small group projects will be available. Students will be responsible for keeping a sketchbook, displaying their artwork and maintaining a process/product portfolio. Students are required to investigate all three aspects of the portfolio; which include quality, concentration and breath.

Quality art experiences, which include Aesthetics, Art Criticism, Art History and Art Production, are essential. These experiences will assist students in developing personal philosophies about art; prompt them to describe, analyze, interpret and evaluate artwork; provide a basis for understanding the historical and cultural influences of art and encourage students’ personal expression in the making of art.

Through the instruction and modeling of sequential art content, students will use creative and critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills to successfully apply art concepts in their solutions to posed art problems. Discussions, reflection and hands-on activities will guide students in attaining these quality art experiences.

All Visual Arts courses qualify for the MN required Arts Standard for graduation.

Each AP Studio Art course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. The AP Studio Art Program consists of three portfolios — 2-D Design, 3-D Design and Drawing — corresponding to the most common college foundation courses. According to surveys of comparable curricula at four-year colleges and universities, they are each equivalent to a two-semester college art course.
AP Studio Art aims to:
  • Encourage creative and systematic investigation of formal and conceptual issues.
  • Emphasize making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making.
  • Help students develop technical skills and familiarize them with the functions of the visual elements.
  • Encourage students to become independent thinkers who will contribute inventively and critically to their culture through the making of art.​
AP Studio Art: Drawing
The Drawing portfolio is intended to address a very broad interpretation of drawing issues and media. Line quality, light and shade, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, the illusion of depth and mark-making are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which could include painting, printmaking or mixed media. Abstract and observational works may demonstrate drawing competence. The range of marks used to make drawings, the arrangement of those marks, and the materials used to make the marks are endless. There is no preferred (or unacceptable) style or content.
Portfolio must include:
Sustained Investigation - 15 digital photos of body of work pertaining to a unified theme and Essential Question
Selected Works - 5 best works selected from SI that shows breadth in concept, technique, message and material
