What is Drawing?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The drawing portfolio is intended to address a very broad interpretation of drawing issues and media. Line quality, light and shade, rendering of form, composition, surface manipulation, the illusion of depth and mark-making are drawing issues that can be addressed through a variety of means, which include painting, printmaking, mixed media, etc. Abstract, observational, and invented works may demonstrate drawing competence. The range of marks used to make drawings, the arrangement of those marks, and the materials used to make the marks are endless. Any artwork submitted in the Drawing portfolio that incorporate digital or photographic processes must address drawing issued such as those listed previously. There is no preferred (or Unaccepted able) style or content.

Helpful hints:_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Draw directly from life instead of using reference photos, whenever possible. If you must use a photo, take your own or use a photo from the public domain. Attach the photo in your sketchbook. 2. Use quality materials for your art. Good materials make it easier to create good work. 3. Use a sketchbook to plan your artwork. Make several thumbnails, jot down notes, glue in reference images, and do color studies when needed. The best sketchbook is the black hardbound 8.5” x 11”Basic Canson book with acid free paper, which, can be purchased from Barnes and Nobles, as well as art vendors. 4. Use a variety of media, even combining them for mixed media. 5. DO NOT SIGN YOUR NAME TO THE FRONT OF YOUR WORK or place any identifying marks on the front as per AP Guidelines. Be sure to write your name on the back or bottom. 6. Visit the AP Central website often to see sample portfolios and to become familiar with requirements. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/studio2d 7. Look at good art! Visit the local art centers, galleries, art museums, and art festivals. Take your sketch book with you, and render the work as well as your response to it. It is a good thing to jot down your thinking process in your sketch book as well as draw in it. 8. Read about art! Read art magazines, such as The Artist’s Magazine and International Artist. You will find these in local libraries. Check out books about famous artists in the library while you are there. Study the images in them. 9. Search the Internet for artists dealing with the same subject as you. Study their work, life history, and influences.
