AP Drawing Art Overview
The Indiana Academic Standards specify the core, fundamental skills students should learn, master, and apply at grade level beginning in
kindergarten and continuing through grade twelve. These academic standards serve as the basis for our curriculum in Centerville-Abington
Community Schools but do not serve as curriculum alone. The Indiana Academic Standards are supported through grade-level, content-specific
curriculum maps and resources. These curriculum maps and resources are aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards and provide the tools which
are necessary to meet the needs of all learners. As a result, the Centerville-Abington Community Schools’ curriculum maps are examined regularly
and undergo periodic revisions.
1. Introduction:
This course encourages and expects creative and systematic investigation of formal and conceptual issues in 3D Art and Design (SC 2). All students
will develop a portfolio that contains two sections: Selected Work (5 works with 2 pictures each that can come from your Sustained Investigation)
and Sustained Investigation (15 works). (SC 1)The teacher and students will have access to digital cameras (including cell phones) and computers
equipped with image editing software and an internet connection, as well as a digital projector and screen for viewing and discussing works of art and
design. (Curricular Requirement 2)
This college-level course is open to any Junior or Senior willing to do the work and who has already taken and passed the Advanced 3D Arts class
and Vis Com (SC 2). Students must receive a letter of recommendation from the art teacher verifying that the particular student is willing to accept
the challenge of the rigorous AP Studio Art course, as well as develop mastery in concept, composition, and execution of 3-D design (SC2). We are
on block scheduling and meet for 90 minutes every other weekday.
3D Portfolio: (15 works of art) Heavily judged according to the design elements (elements and principles of art) This will not be limited to clay, and
any non-traditional material is encouraged. Installation art is also a possibility that historically performs well. (SC2
2. Course Description:
The AP Studio Art Courses are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and the development of mastery in
concept, composition, and execution of 3D Design (SC 2). AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for
evaluation at the end of the school year. Portfolios are graded from 1-5. A score of 3 or higher is considered passing.
Students will create at least 18 portfolio quality works over the course of a year (SC 2). They will be pushed to work harder and faster than ever
before as the work is equivalent to that of an introductory college course in studio art (SC 2). It is designed to match the rigor and pace typical of a
good introductory level college foundations course (SC 1) (SC 2) (SC3).
