Studio Art
You need to successfully pass Art A/I & Art B/II in order to take this class. It will be an open studio class, where students walk in, pick assignments and are self-motivated to meet project deadlines. If you enjoy working on art and by yourself this is the class for you! This class will help you prepare your portfolio for AP Art, so if you plan on taking AP Art you will want to take this course.
AP Art
This course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in drawing, 2-D, and/or 3-D. In AP studio art the exam is based on a portfolio and not a written exam, though students will be writing about their art, the writing enhances the work. While students are building their portfolio they will experience a variety of concepts, techniques, and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their ability as well as their versatility with techniques, problem solving, and ideation. Students will develop a body of work for their concentration that investigates an idea of personal interest to them.
