Courses

Studio Art

This course will survey all tenets of the AP Studio Art Portfolio including Drawing, Two-Dimensional Design and Three-Dimensional Design. Participants will be involved with an intensive series of “mock grading” of student portfolios utilizing the official rubrics of the AP 2013 reading. In addition a special focus will be placed on ideas for encouraging student voice and creativity within the portfolios in order to elevate the students’ artworks to authentic college level performance. Discussion of the legitimacy of appropriation will also be a focus in the course. Participants will also have the opportunity to create their own “portfolios” based on the Concentration sections of each of the three portfolios. Required readings as well as an excursion to an art gallery or museum will be scheduled during this Summer Institute to offer participants an enriching experience necessary to fostering creative energies. Upon successful completion of this Summer Institute participants should be able to design and successfully teach their own AP Studio Art course.
