AP Drawing

AP Drawing is a natural progression for those who have already
completed Drawing, Painting, or Architecture. This course is
designated for work that focuses on the use of mark-making,
line, surface, space, light and shade, and composition. Students
should consider marks that can be used to make drawings, the
arrangement of marks, the materials and processes used to make
marks, and relationships of marks and ideas. Students can work
with any materials, processes, and ideas. Drawing (analog and
digital), painting, printmaking, and mixed media work are among
the possibilities for submission. AP Drawing is a college-level
course offered to sophomores, juniors and/or seniors. The course
is intended for students who have a high degree of motivation
and a willingness to contribute many hours in the studio outside
of class. A minimum of 15 exceptional pieces of art are required to
complete the portfolio. The AP Drawing Portfolio offers students
an opportunity to pursue a distinctly individualized program, as
each will create and develop a cohesive concentration, exploring
a single visual concern in depth. This sustained investigation is
assessed based on the AP rubric as to whether it reflects collegelevel
thinking in terms of the use of composition, cohesion, use of
class-time, craftsmanship, and creative solutions.
