AP Art 2D
A designer knows when they achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Passing the AP Art 2D Portfolio is equivalent to a one-semester, college course in 2D art and design.
AP Studio Art 2d is designed for the art and design student who wishes to grow their portfolio and depth of work through intensive production and peer/self-review. This course is for students passionate about visually expressing their ideas and concepts through art and who seek a course that allows for a large number of individually developed projects. Emphasis is placed throughout the year on the creation of a portfolio that focuses on a specific concentration.
Course Objectives
Students will:
- Create visually expressive work
- Declare their goals and desired outcomes for their artwork
- Understand that creating art is an evolutionary process
- Be open to peer review and giving feedback to help improve others’ work
- Develop a personal concentration of 15 pieces
- Track and record the development of the concentration through in-class discussions and peer reviews
