Description: In this course, students create a portfolio demonstrating mastery in Concentration (Sustained Investigation)
and Quality (Selected Works) as specified by the standards set by National AP Board. This portfolio is intended to address
two-dimensional (2-D) design issues. Design involves purposeful decision making about how to use the elements and
principles of art in an integrative way. The principles of design (unity/variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm,
repetition, proportion/scale, figure/ground relationships) can be articulated through the visual elements (line, shape,
color, value, texture, space). They help guide artists in making decisions about how to organize an image on a picture
plane in order to communicate content. Effective design is possible whether one uses representational or abstract
approaches to art. For this portfolio, students must demonstrate understanding of 2-D design through any two-
dimensional medium or process, including, but not limited to, graphic design, digital imaging, photography, collage,
fabric design, weaving, fashion design, fashion illustration, painting and printmaking. Video clips, DVDs, CDs and three-
dimensional works may not be submitted.
