AP Portfolio
You will be required to digitally submit a portfolio in May, consisting of 10-20 artworks that you will complete and photograph. These works can be pulled from classes you've taken in previous years or any work you've done outside of school, along with the pieces you will complete throughout the year in this class.
The Portfolio contains three sections:
I. Quality
II. Concentration
III. Breadth
The following is taken from the AP Studio Art Course Description:
3-D Design Portfolio
This portfolio is intended to address sculptural issues. Design involves purposeful decision making about using the elements and principles of art in an integrative way. In the 3-D Design Portfolio, students are asked to demonstrate their understanding of design principles as they relate to the integration of depth and space, volume and surface. The principles of design (unity/variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm, repetition, proportion/scale, and occupied/unoccupied space) can be articulated through the visual elements (mass, volume, color/light, form, plane, line, texture).
For this portfolio, students are asked to demonstrate mastery of 3-D design through any three-dimensional approach, including, but not limited to, figurative or non-figurative sculpture, architectural models, metal work, ceramics, glass work, installation, assemblage and 3-D fabric/fiber arts . There is no preferred (or unacceptable) style or content.
