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. |
