Course Description

In the AP Art class students will study a wide range of topics that they as an individual artist will choose to explore. The AP Art class is two semesters and is designed to allow students who are wishing to major in art or receive art appreciation credit to explore their artistic abilities and create a portfolio on a concentration of their choice. In this class students investigate all three sections of the AP Portfolio which are Quality, Concentration, and Breadth. The creating of these portfolios is an ongoing process in which students are expected to use critical decision making to develop their artwork. Students are encouraged to push the media in creating dynamic compositions to advance their learning experience and submit in their portfolio. In studio classes students are encouraged to explore and develop their personal interests and ideas in order to develop an individual artistic voice. Students are allowed to explore a variety of concepts and approaches to demonstrate their abilities and versatility with their art making. For more information you can visit the AP site:

AP Art Blog Summer Assignment

Participate in blog sessions by posting artwork and help each other by commenting on artwork and suggesting ideas. Students will also post an exhibit review. You need to register on the blog site and upload your artwork on the site for a participation grade. Art work posts will be due by JUNE 24th and JULY 29th. Each time you post art you should post 1 or 2 original works for drawing and 5 for photography you completed this summer. Please add at least one comment about each person’s art work the following days JUNE 25th and JULY 30th. Exhibit reviews should be posted with links to the museum or gallery website by AUGUST 3rd.

Summer Art Review

Visit a museum or gallery this summer. It can be anywhere in the world that you may find yourself this summer. Bring back a ticket or a brochure from the exhibit and write 2 strong paragraphs about your experience at the exhibit (either good or bad). The first paragraph should be OBJECTIVE- simply describe the work (style, time period, 2-D, 3-D, etc.), without adding your opinion. The second paragraph should be SUBJECTIVE- this is where you will write how you felt about the exhibit. Did you love it? Hate it? Your opinion matters only in this 2nd paragraph. Post the website of your exhibit along with your review on the blog site. Brochures or tickets from the exhibit will be turned in first day of school for a grade.

MISS TELLERI MY INTERNET DOESN'T SUPPORT BLOGGER SO YOU GOTTA GIVE ME A BREAK IF I CANT FIND A COMPATIBLE INTERNET IN TIME.

Ight so i've had very very little free time (work, eat, work, eat, sleep, work, etc.) but on the two free days ive had i've drawn these. The first two are Graphite sketches on 8.5 by 11. The third one is Graphite and colored pencils on one of those waxy poster boards people find in the store (worst thing ever to try and draw on, thats why the color sucks, the graphite just slides around ontop of the waxy surface) im not sure the size it might be 24 by 36 or something.

Tellerious said...: Good start, make sure to develop your drawings and add those last details to really make them stand out. Also make sure to create pieces with the idea list I gave you for your assignments.; July 17, 2012 at 11:07 AM
