20. Advanced Placement Guidelines
AP Studio Art is a college level course taught at the high school level. Students receiving a 5, 4, or 3 on their portfolio can receive up to 6 college credits, saving thousands of dollars in tuition.
While AP Studio is a lot of work it is also fun and exciting
You need time! Limiting after school activities is helpful but I provide:
After school STUDIO HOURS
Muhl Time
Permanent Passes to me from Study HAll
Time management will be your biggest challenge. A project is due EVERY TWO WEEKS!
Works done in previous art classes may be submitted for Breadth but should be touched up and improved before submission.

21. CRITIQUES Critiques are held every Tuesday
One project is to be completed every two weeks.
First critique is to review and justify thumbnails and color experimentations. We will try submitting these to google classroom this year. If it doesn’t work we will use the document camera to show the class the thumbnails. The presentation will address: research, subject, content, composition, positive/negative space, color theory and the dominent Elements and Principles of Design.
Second critique is the evaluation of your almost completed art work by the instructor and the class. Constructive criticism must provide solutions to any problems being addressed.
