AP Studio Art 2

Studio Art AP is designed for senior students who combine exceptional ability with a high degree of interest in the practice of art. Students will be expected to submit a portfolio of work to examiners in May in an attempt to qualify for credit and advanced placement in American colleges. (Although students need not be enrolled in an AP course to submit a portfolio, it is highly recommended.) Work done in the course will be expected to reflect three areas of concern: breadth, concentration, and quality. (12/94)

There is considerable research on the academic value of students receiving instruction in the Visual Arts. All District 11 art classes are taught by qualified art teachers. Students will learn the elements of art and principles of design. They will learn about art in relation to history, culture, and the community. They will also recognize and use the visual arts as a form of communication, and will critique works of art through analysis, assessment, and evaluation. Informal and formalized assessments of each student's level of mastery begin and continue throughout the course.
