AP Drawing Handbook Fairmont High School Art Department AP Drawing Handbook Thing you need to keep! Mrs. Susan Bennett [email protected] AP Studio Art: Drawing Introduction: “The AP Studio Art Portfolios are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year.”2009 College Board The AP College board sets the national standards. It is possible to earn college credit at many universities throughout the country. AP Studio is considered college level work. Students will be expected to produce quality work and a specific number of works for three individual portfolios within their discipline. All students must be willing to complete a rigorous academic course. The student must be self-motivated and seriously interested in the study of art. The student will complete three-section portfolio, which will require the students to show competence and a range of understanding in visual art concerns, methods and investigations. (2009 College Board) Each portfolio will be 1/3 of the exam grade. The three portfolios are Quality, (5 works), Concentration 12 digital images, some may be detail of the same piece.at least 10 pieces though) Breadth 12 images of 12 works. Please exam the poster often as well as the website. Please go to the AP Studio Drawing page on the AP Studio Art website for the College Board. https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/aCourse Overview What makes this course interesting? Be an informed and critical decision-maker as you develop a portfolio that is personal to your individual talents and interests, while demonstrating mastery of drawing principles Explore your creativity and become an independent thinker in your contributions to art and culture Sample Activity Create and update a personal sketchbook journal to document your artistic interests and project ideas Sample Activity Create projects such as a Gesture Drawing in which you’ll create a pen drawing of a person in his or her environment while capturing reality and movement Sample Activity Participate in class discussions where you will analyze and critique your own work as well as your peers’ Slide 1 of 3Slide 2 of 3Slide 3 of 3 Explore drawing issues including line quality, light and shade, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, the illusion of depth and mark-making through a variety of means, such as painting, printmaking or mixed media. Develop technical skills and familiarize yourself with the functions of visual elements as you create an individual portfolio of work for evaluation at the end of the course. AP Studio Art: Drawing Course Description (PDF) APcourse/ap-studio-art-drawing Review this page often. 1 Things to keep in mind: You are permitted to use work from past years to bring into your portfolios. If you like working from photographs take your own. IF you use photographs taken by other people change and modify the images by at least 60 %.There must be substantial personalization. Perhaps several photos of the same subject by various people to give you reference, but not total composition. Do not plagiarize. Adhere to academic honesty guidelines. You must use the AP Studio course guidelines for the building of each portfolio. Scores will be lower if you do not follow the parameters given. You should have a goal to complete the test and to score a 5 or better. Have a goal of meeting deadlines and completing work. You may have two pieces, being worked on at once. Size is not t be smaller than 8” x 10”, or larger than 18” x 24”. At all times quality should be excellent. Keep a sketchbook journal of ideas and investigations to support your studio work. Visit museum and gallery websites to research artists and media. Colleges have great teaching videos. I have many listed on the Visual Art Home Page. I will request a museum, gallery visit once a quarter. I will ask for sketches and notes of the visit to be on one page of your sketchbook. You will be asked to become comfortable using the artist vocabulary. There will be assignments supporting this task. Have another artist friend that will help hold you accountable for your assignments. AP has specific numbers we need to produce if we are to submit the portfolio in one year. If this is your goal work smaller to accomplish it. Detail and quality are important to each piece. I would like to contact you this summer by email. Please give me your email before you leave for the summer. My email is [email protected] I will place various things on my teacher website for you over the summer If you need supplies during the summer, contact me and we will arrange something. Otis college you tubes, great technique sites. I will post some on my site. PBS Art 21 great site for contemporary artist Review your poster often 2 Art Equipment During the school day, you will be able to use the Art Studio facilities and equipment at any time. However, much of your work will also be done outside school, during the evenings, weekends and holidays. You will have a tool box to use for your supplies in this class. You may take this home with you and bring them back to class. You may wish to collect other things at home to save yourself that trouble. A small workspace at home would be ideal. ESSENTIAL: Your IWB hardbound sketchbook, 8/12” x 11” Other good quality paper for dry media 2B, 4B and 6B good quality sketching pencils Good quality erasers Glue stick RECOMMENDED: Colored pencils Fine point pens with permanent ink Water color Pastels/oil pastels Acrylic Paint Brushes, no 5, 7, and a large size Stores such as United Art and Education, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Patterson Chase carry art supplies. On line stores such as Blick Art Supplies, Sax and Artist Warehouse are also good resources. Setting up a work space (not essential, but useful) It would be a real advantage if you have enough space to create a ‘mini-studio’ at home. This will mean that it is much easier for you to work, as your art equipment will always be out and ready for you when inspiration strikes. In addition to your art equipment you should consider. 1. A flat surface and comfortable chair 2. A good source of natural light and or a bright desk lamp with a day light lamp. 3. A 12” mirror if you are interested in producing self-portraits. A full-length mirror would be ideal for figure drawing. 3 Analyzing Artworks: A Step-by-Step Guide Follow these steps; answer all the questions and you can't go wrong! Remember that your own drawings/copies of the artwork should accompany ALL written analysis. 1: First Reaction o Are some parts of the composition full of shapes and some parts empty, or are the shapes spread evenly across the Write down your first response to the artwork. artwork? o Do you like it? o Are some shapes repeated or echoed in other parts of the o How does it make you feel? artwork? o Does it remind you of anything you have seen before? o Does the whole composition look full of energy and movement, or does it look still and peaceful?

    AP STUDIO ART SUMMER WORK 2021 MRS. BRITTANY BRYDGES-NEELY DIRECTIONS: READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT. Carefully read the project criteria below and email me images of your work by the assigned due dates. Points will be deducted for late work and can seriously jeopardize your MP1 grade, there are no rolling deadlines with summer work and no extensions will be granted. If you do not understand these directions you must contact me via email; not understanding is not a valid excuse to miss deadlines, you have to communicate and ask for clarification. This project is worth 100 pts total and will set you up for success for the rest of the class and for the AP Studio Art Exam. AP Studio Art is a college-level Art course which grants much in the way of artistic expression and autonomy but demands college-level work ethic, this will be a learning experience; I expect your best work, effort and punctuality with the assigned due dates. To put this in perspective: you will only have 9 grades for the entire course, make the summer work count. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Any 2-dimensional media (material) and any artistic style is fair game in AP Art; however, you cannot copy imagery, artwork or photos that belong to someone else (That’s illegal. It’s fine for practice, but not ok here). This means no copyrighted imagery or cartoon characters, no Pinterest or Tiktok inspired projects and no direct copying of images you found on Google. Reference images are ok to use, but you have to tweak them using YOUR OWN CREATIVITY, in other words: find several references or photos and combine them in an interesting way.

  • AP 2-D ART & DESIGN / AP DRAWING Mrs. J. Alexander
    AP 2-D ART & DESIGN / AP DRAWING Mrs. J. Alexander __________________________________________________________________________________________________ AP Art is a challenging and rigorous course that has at its core the generation of a substantial body of very high quality works of art. The coursework is expected to be equivalent to a first-year college level art course in terms of its quality in subject, content and form. Students are expected to challenge themselves to develop mastery in their ideas, skills, and abilities in 2-D Design or Drawing. The success of AP Art requires a strong commitment from the teacher, the school and highly motivated students. The program of study follows the course description provided by the AP College Board. Success in AP Art is dependent upon completing and submitting the prescribed AP Art Portfolio to the AP College Board for official scoring by the first week in May. The AP Art course addresses two major areas that are a constant in the teaching and learning of art: (1) “selected works” (5 physical artworks) where students submit works of art and design and writing to demonstrate skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas; (2) the student’s “sustained investigation” on a particular visual interest or problem with a minimum of 15 digital images that include works of art and design and process documention with how they practiced, experimented, and revised their work. AP Art is a full year course of study. The AP portfolios are due for adjudication in early May while the course work continues to the end of the academic year. The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for the Arts are embraced throughout AP Art.

  • Ap Studio Art: 3D Design Portfolio
    AP STUDIO ART: 3D DESIGN PORTFOLIO Scoring Components: This is how you are scored! SC1 The course promotes a sustained investigation of all three aspects of portfolio development— quality, concentration, and breadth—as outlined in the Course Description and Poster throughout the duration of the course. SC2 The course enables students to develop mastery (i.e., “quality”) in concept, composition, and execution of 3-D design. SC3 The course enables students to develop a cohesive body of work investigating a strong underlying visual idea in 3-D design that grows out of a coherent plan of action or investigation (i.e., a “concentration”). SC4 The course teaches students a variety of concepts and approaches in 3-D design so that the student is able to demonstrate a range of abilities and versatility with technique. Such conceptual variety can be demonstrated through either the use of one or the use of several media. SC5 The course teaches students a variety of concepts and approaches in 3-D design so that the student is able to demonstrate a range of abilities and versatility with problem-solving. Such conceptual variety can be demonstrated through either the use of one or the use of several media. SC6 The course teaches students a variety of concepts and approaches so that the student is able to demonstrate a range of abilities and versatility with ideation (i.e. “breadth”). Such conceptual variety can be demonstrated through either the use of one or the use of several media. SC7 The course emphasizes making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making.

  • AP Studio Art: 2D Art and Design Syllabus
    AP Studio Art: 2D Art and Design Syllabus Welcome! The AP Studio Art class is intended for highly motivated Junior and Senior students who are seriously interested in the study of art and design. AP course requirements are significantly more rigorous, and students should demonstrate commitment and accomplishment when enrolled. At least one year of Studio Art, as well as a high level of technical art skills, creativity, and inquiry are prerequisites to this course. During the year, the students will work in and out of class to produce a portfolio to meet the standards set up by the College Board. Students will be expected to complete at least one piece of quality artwork every one or two weeks, complete practice exercises, keep a comprehensive sketchbook, document their ongoing inquiry and thinking processes, and participate in critique sessions. Each student must have a sketchbook with them and be able to develop these sketchbooks as ongoing journals throughout the year. This course emphasizes making art as an ongoing process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making at all times, according to their own individual inquiry. Students create a portfolio of work to demonstrate inquiry through art and design and development of materials, processes, and ideas over the course of a year. Portfolios include works of art and design, process documentation, and written information about the work presented. In May, students submit portfolios for evaluation based on specific criteria, which include skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas and sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision, guided by questions.
