Beechwood High SchoolAP Studio Art Course Syllabus:

2D Drawing, 2D Design and 3D Design

2016-2017

Instructor: Mrs. Monica NamyarRoom Number: 300Email: [email protected]

Course Description:

ALL:

Within AP Studio Art there are three courses: 3D studio art (which includes sculpture and ceramics), 2D Design (which includes painting, drawing, photography, printmaking… but focuses on using the elements of art principles of design in variety of design processes) and 2D Drawing (which includes painting, drawing and printmaking and other 2D media). Students will be able to choose one of the three AP studio art programs to complete that year. Each student will submit a portfolio to the College Board which contains three components: Quality, Concentration, and Breadth. The goal of AP Studio Art is to develop technical skills and encourage students to become independent thinkers through art criticism and creation of a body of work—the portfolio.

Artistic Integrity and Academic Honesty

Each student is expected to develop his or her own original personal vision or voice through his or her artwork. Students are discouraged from using photographs for creating artwork. Copying another artist’s work violates artistic integrity and is considered plagiarism. Students may not create artwork for their portfolios which are derived from non-original, published images, including images found on the internet. If it is necessary that students use photographs for referencing, the student must use photographs taken by the student him or herself. When in doubt, it is the responsibility

of the student to consult with the teacher regarding artistic integrity prior to creating the artwork.

Drawing Portfolio

Students will develop mastery in concept (image, theme or idea is carefully selected), composition (elements of art and principles of design are used to create work of excellent quality) and execution (advanced technical skills) of drawing and various 2D media. Students will hone their communication skills through art criticism and aesthetic discussion regarding the portfolios.

2-D Design Portfolio

Students will develop mastery in concept (image, theme or idea is carefully selected), composition (elements of art and principles of design are used to create work of excellent quality) and execution (advanced technical skills) of 2-D Design processes. Students will hone their communication skills through art criticism and aesthetic discussion regarding the portfolios.


Students will develop mastery in concept (image, theme or idea is carefully selected), composition (elements of art and principles of design are used to create work of excellent quality) and execution (advanced technical skills) of 3-D Design processes. Students will hone their communication skills through art criticism and aesthetic discussion regarding the portfolios.

Expectations

ALL:

Summer Assignments: Cincinnati Art Museum activities and 3 projects are expected to be completed by deadlines.

Homework: Students are expected to meet deadlines and frequently use time outside of class to complete artwork.

Classwork: Students are expected to be on task each day.

the Quality, Concentration and Breadth sections of the AP Studio Art Drawing Portfolio.


Students will produce a minimum of 24 works that satisfy the requirements of

the Quality, Concentration, and Breadth sections of the AP Studio Art 2-D Design Portfolio.


Students will produce a minimum of 18 to 20 works that satisfy the requirements of

the Quality, Concentration, and Breadth sections of the AP Studio Art 3-D Design Portfolio.

Grading:

ALL

Art projects will each be worth 100 points. Each project will be graded on:

Craftsmanship (25 points),

Effort (25 points which includes class participation in critiques and ability to meet the deadlines. 5 points will be deducted for 1st day late, 1 point will be deducted for each additional day late unless excused.)

Level of difficulty (50 points)

*Individual critiques (with teacher and each student) occur each week.

Course Outline and Schedule:

ALL:

Students will work on the Breadth section of the portfolio during the first quarter and

part of the second. During this time, students will explore a variety of concepts and approaches

to demonstrate abilities and versatility with techniques, problem solving and ideation (i.e., “breadth”).

Students may use artwork from previous art classes for the breadth section where appropriate.

During the second quarter, students will begin to work on the Concentration section of the portfolio.

Students will continue working on this section until mid-April. The Concentration is a

cohesive body of work investigating a strong underlying visual idea in 2-D design, 2-D drawing

or 3-D design that grows out of a coherent plan of action or investigation. Students will be required to

select a concentration prior to the second quarter.
