Prerequisite: Grade of “B” or better in Drawing 1, Painting 1, and/or teacher recommendation. This course is an introductory college-level two-dimensional design course. Students refine and apply skills and ideas they develop throughout the course to produce two-dimensional art and design. Students will create a portfolio of work to demonstrate inquiry through art and their development of materials, processes, and ideas over the course of a year. Portfolios will include works of art, process documentation, and written information about the work presented. In May, students may submit their portfolios to the College Board for evaluation based on specific criteria, including: skillful synthesis of materials, processes, and ideas and sustained investigation through practice, experimentation, and revision. Portfolio submission will afford students the opportunity to garner college and/or art school credit. This course has a required summer assignment designed to help students prepare their portfolios need for AP Exam submission in May of school year. Grade weighted upon successful completion of course.
