Advanced Placement Studio (APS) Course Description The AP Studio Art Portfolio course is for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in the concept, composition, and execution of their ideas. Through this course, students will construct a portfolio of work, which focuses on a variety of concepts, techniques and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their abilities as well as their versatility with techniques, problem solving, and ideation. Students also develop a body of work for the Concentration section of the portfolio that investigates an idea of personal interest to them.

Advanced Placement Studio (APS) Portfolio Paths Drawing – The Drawing Portfolio is designed to address a very broad interpretation of drawing issues and media. Light and shade, line quality, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, and illusion of depth are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which could include painting, printmaking, mixed media, etc. 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. – Any work submitted in the Drawing Portfolio that incorporates digital or photographic processes must address issues such as those listed above, as well as mark making. Using computer programs merely to manipulate photographs through filters, adjustments, or special effects is not appropriate for the Drawing Portfolio.

Advanced Placement Studio (APS) Portfolio Paths 2-D Design – The 2-D Design portfolio is designed to address two-dimensional (2-D) design issues. Design involves purposeful decision making about how to use the elements and principles of art in an integrative way. The principles of design articulated through the visual elements help guide artists in making decisions about how to organize the elements on a picture plane in order to communicate content. Effective design is possible whether one uses representational or abstract approaches to art. – Students are asked to demonstrate mastery of 2-D design through any two-dimensional medium or process, including, but not limited to, graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage, fabric design, weaving, illustration, painting, and printmaking. Video clips, DVDs, CDs, and three-dimensional works may not be submitted.

Advanced Placement Studio (APS) Portfolio Sections: The Exam Section II: Concentration – 12 images; some may be details. – A concentration is a body of related works describing an in-depth exploration of a particular artistic concern. It should reflect a process of investigation of a specific visual idea. – Students are encouraged to explore a personal, central interest as intensively as possible; they are free to work with any idea in any medium that addresses drawing issues. The concentration should grow out of the student’s idea and demonstrate growth and/or discovery through a number of conceptually related works
