AP Studio Art: 2D Art and Design Syllabus 2024-2025
Welcome!
The AP Studio Art class is intended for highly motivated 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 recommended to take 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.
AP Exam fees are $99.00 per exam. Make checks payable to “Midland Park Internal Fund” and submit them to the Guidance Office by Friday, September 27, 2024.
