The development of the AP Studio Art Portfolio involves significantly significantly more time than a typical high school art course and is not for those who are casually interested. The quest for quality of both production and experience makes active demands on students, teachers and the school itself. May. Portfolio review is in June by the College Board. Slides of work are required. Department Head approval Students pursue individual projects, culminating in a solo exhibition at the end of the semester.
Emphasis is placed on careers in art and exploration of area galleries, museums and art shows.
This course is offered as a component of the four-block interdisciplinary course of study focusing on nature and including classes on the literature of nature, natural history and ecology. Ultimately, students will use interactive multimedia resources to produce a project combining wildlife art and drawing, nature photography and the music of nature.
